Procedural motion: Debatable, amendable and eligible for final vote
Comment: The names listed above, drawn principally from volunteer lists, reflect the Steering Committee's current expectations about committee membership. Veteran senators will not be surprised to find corollary motions on subsequent agendas to replace members who will be on leave. Faculty who wish to volunteer for Senate standing committees may still make their wishes known to the Steering Committee and will be considered as vacancies arise. When considering the overall balance of these committees, it is important to remember that most have student and administrative members as well as faculty elected by the Senate.
