CHARGES TO THE ORGANIZATION AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE FOR FY-03

 

Approved by SenEx: 6/13/02

Charges

1. Review any change under consideration for the administration and organization of the University and how it relates to the University governance system.

Evaluate the recommendations to create a University Committee on Libraries as proposed in the Provost's memorandum of 2/7/02 (attached).

 

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.

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, 2003. 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.

4. Review the University’s organization for long range planning with a focus on the involvement of University governance (with the Planning and Resources Committee).

5. Consider the appropriateness of adding representatives from UPSA and the Classified Senate to the four University Senate Standing Committees that lack such representation (ACTC, Calendar, International Affairs, P&R) and the two Council Committees (O&A and AP&P).

6. Find a mechanism by which standing committees can operate in the summer, possibly with 2-3 continuing members, to respond to special situations.

7. Consider whether the membership of the University Judicial Board (currently 58 faculty, staff, administrators and students) should be reduced (see SenEx minutes of 6/26/02).
