1. Election of Senate Steering Committee member (Senate Elections Committee) Mr. Goslin
At this first meeting of the Senate, the Senate needs to fill a vacancy on the Senate Steering Committee. The only limitation on electability of senators to this Committee is that no more than two may be elected from any one organized faculty. The Steering Committee normally meets twice a month (Tuesday afternoons from 1:00 to 3:00) to set the Senate agenda, refer business to Senate committees and receive reports from those bodies and advise the Senate on governance issues; it may also meet occasionally during the summer. If you wish to nominate someone, please establish in advance that the person is willing to serve.
Current membership of the Steering Committee includes: Ambika Bhargava (SEHS), Jay Meehan (CAS), Kevin Murphy (SBA), Michael Polis (SECS), Lynne Williams (SHS).
