Facts: 

The current policy can be found here: https://policies.uni.edu/421

In certain extenuating circumstances, the behavior of individuals with emeritus/a status may be detrimental to the university.

The faculty, in particular the faculty senate, determine whether a faculty member should earn emeritus/a status.

There is currently no means for revoking such status within the policy.

Action: 

Therefore, be it resolved that the University Faculty Senate propose changes to policy 4.21 in order to add a mechanism for revocation of emeritus/a status. Note that deliberations can be made in executive session, per normal senate rules, but any vote would have to be public and recorded as per normal senate rules.
