Motion Passed

The Senate Governance Committee proposes adoption of the attached Faculty Senate Handbook for the 2022-23 academic year.

Question:  Should the name be changed to "University Faculty Senate Handbook" (Since there are also College Senates.)

Bill Koch has served the University for 23 years.

The Regents Award Committee has decided upon recommendations for the recipient(s) of the 2022 Regents Award for Faculty Excellence.

The Senate will discuss and vote on these recommendations in executive session.

GCCC has approved a post masters in Mental Health.  This was down outside of the regular curriculum cycle, so it didn't go through leapfrog, it was handled via documents and a network of sharing.  At this point, the Senate is the last stage of approval.

I asked why this was done outside of the regular curriculum cycle.  This was the reply:

Betty Zan (Curriculum & Instruction) has retired and has requested emeritus status.

Jody Stone (Teaching) is retiring and has requested emeritus status.

Mary Doyle (Teaching) is retiring and has requested emeritus status.

Kadiampatti Rajendran (Marketing & Entrepreneurship) is retiring and has requested emeritus status.

Barbara Weeg (Library) is retiring and has requested emeritus status.

Martha Reineke (Philosophy and World Religions) is retiring and has requested emeritus status.
