Approval of changes to the Student Life Council Constitution & Bylaws – Dr. Laura Robertson (attachment)
Proposed amendments to the Shepherd Constitution (attachment)
i. Core Curriculum Committee – Dr. Chris Lovelace
The Core Curriculum Committee brings forward an amendment to the introductory paragraph of Article IV, Section 7 of the Shepherd Constitution that would remove the requirement that the chair of that committee come from the Faculty Senate and instead be elected from among the CCC membership at their final meeting each year.
ii. Chairs of the new College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences – Dr. Chris Lovelace
Replace “College” with “College or Division within a College” wherever per-college faculty committee representation is specified. This change will keep the level of representation the same as it is now after we combine the Colleges of Social & Behavioral Sciences and Arts & Humanities.
Change “Dean” to “Dean or Associate Dean” in committee membership lists to allow the new Associate Deans to fulfil committee roles.
