The Faculty Assembly will meet Wednesday, February 20, 2008
from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m.
in the Senate Chamber, Old Capitol

(The meeting will end promptly at 5:00 due to strict policies concerning the use of the Senate Chamber. Members should be sure to sign one of the attendance sheets.)

AGENDA

2. Brief Messages and Announcements.

3. Discussion of a proposal from the CLAS Executive Committee for an amendment to the College’s Manual of Procedure. The revised language reflects changes in the composition and duties of the Faculty Advisory Committee for Interdepartmental Studies as a result of the addition of pre-approved study plans to the interdepartmental studies major in 2006. If approved in Faculty Assembly, the amendment will be the subject of a faculty referendum in March 2008. Text of the changes available here. Associate Dean Helena Dettmer will attend and will be able to answer any questions.
