Resolution Requesting a Faculty Liason on the Chancellor’s Executive Council
(DRAFT)
Whereas, the Chancellor receives guidance and input from an advisory committee,
the Executive Council; and
Whereas, out of approximately eight members, the Executive Council has one
representative from Academic Affairs (the Provost), even though the
majority of the university’s mission and budget involves Academic Affairs;
and
Whereas, the faculty most directly implement the university’s mission, including
overarching initiatives such as regional engagement and the Quality
Enhancement Plan; and
Whereas, direct communication between faculty and other divisions of the
university will improve coordination and decision-making,
Be it resolved that the Faculty Senate strongly requests that an elected Faculty
Liason position be added to the Executive Council.
