University Council

ORGANIZATION AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE

FY 2002

Annual Report

The members of the Organization and Administration Committee were Deborah Dandridge (chair), Jacob Gordon, Robert McColl, Cindy Pierard, Lloyd Sponholtz, Lisa Wolf-Wendel, and Lawrence Wrightsman.

The Committee met once this year. The attached minutes provide details of that meeting.

The Committee’s responses to its FY02 Charges were as follows:

1. Review any change under consideration for the administration and organization of the

University and how it relates to the University governance system.

The Committee did not identify any such changes.

2. Consider any proposals forwarded to the Committee from SenEx for codification into

the Senate Code or the Rules and Regulations of the University and Faculty Senate and

make recommendations for Council action.

The Committee did not receive any proposals to consider this year.

3. Submit to SenEx: 1) the approved minutes of each meeting (minutes must be kept), 2)

recommendations for actions as they are approved by the committee, and 3) a final

report by April 1, 2002. The final report should make clear what was done about each

of the charges to the committee and make recommendations to SenEx for action. The

report should also provide the names of committee members and include suggestions

for charges to, membership in, and the chair of next year’s committee.

As the Committee did for FY01, it has submitted minutes of its meetings and provided a final

report concerning actions taken by the Committee for FY02.

4. Review the University’s organization for long range planning with a focus on the

involvement of University governance.

Based on the Committee’s FY01 findings that there were no permanent long range planning

entities within the University’s organization, the Committee recommended that this charge

should be coordinated with the Planning and Resources Committee.
