The Faculty Senate Governance Committee proposes the attached bylaws revisions to accommodate a new framework for delegating members to the University Faculty Senate. It provides an opportunity for the voting faculty of each academic department to provide a senate delegate, at their discretion. The Senate Nominating Committee will facilitate communication with Department Heads each spring, during faculty elections.

This will not take effect until the Fall of 2023

The Senate Leadership Committee approved docketing with the request that the committee discuss and prepare an amendment next year to include some at large positions.

Therefore, be it resolved that the University Faculty Senate approves the proposed changes to the Senate Bylaws.
