Motion Passed

Be it resolved that the Senate approve the proposed revisions to the Curriculum Handbook. 

Be it resolved that the emeritus request for Ann Myles, Department of Language and Literatures, be approved. 

Be it resolved that the emeritus request for Deborah Giarusso, Department of Finance, be approved. 

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. 

John Longnecker retired from UNI in 2000 after 33 years as an Assistant Math and Computer Professor. In 2016 Longnecker was arrested in AR on sexual abuse and rape charges of minor children and is currently serving a life sentence.
