Committee on Committee Recommendation to Discharge Writing Committee

Calendar Item:

1451

Docket Number:

1330

First Name:

James

Last Name:

Facts:

The Committee on Committees voted February 27 to discharge the University Writing Committee as a Senate committee. This action was taken in response to its annual report dated December 10, 2018, and is consistent with the committee's own recommendation #1 on page 3 of the attached report. That report outlined the futility of its charge to infuse writing objectives and activities across the curriculum, and resulting frustration of its membership, due largely to its organization as a Senate committee. Discharge of the University Writing Committee in no way precludes its re-constitution in another form, presumably consistent with guidelines currently under development by the temporary task force on interdisciplinary study.

Given the above considerations, the Committee on Committees recommends that the Senate discharge the University Writing Committee, effective immediately.

Senate Bylaws Revision

Calendar Item:

Docket Number:

First Name:

Last Name:

E-mail:

amy.petersen@uni.edu

Facts:

The UNI Faculty Senate bylaws were last revised in 2012. Given changes to UNI shared governance structures and with the intent of strengthening shared governance, two revisions are proposed. First, the creation of the position of Former Senate Chair is proposed. This new position would ensure greater consistency and continuity within the Senate structure from year to year. Second, it is proposed that the position of the Senate Secretary be appointed from the UN Faculty (versus only from Senate membership) in a non-voting capacity.
