Re: Supporting the Faculty Council of Community Colleges inclusion on the SUNY Board of
Trustees (Resolution EC0607 – 10)
I hereby offer for consideration of the State University of New York Student Assembly Executive
Committee the following resolution:
Whereas, we appreciate the steps that the New York State Legislature has taken towards the
inclusion of the University Faculty Senate on the SUNY Board of Trustees, and
Whereas, the Faculty Council of Community Colleges serves as the University Faculty Senate’s
peer counterpart at the Community College level within the State University System, and
Whereas, the Faculty Council of Community Colleges and the University Faculty Senate have both
passed resolutions supporting the Faculty Council’s inclusion on the Board, and
Whereas, a wider range of viewpoints on the State University of New York Board of Trustees
enriches the educational experience of the 420,000 students that we represent and further promotes
the developement of the State University System, therefore be it
Resolved, that the SUNY Student Assembly Executive Committee supports the inclusion of the
President of the Faculty Council of Community Colleges, as well as the President of the University
Faculty Senate, on the SUNY Board of Trustees, and be it further
Resolved, that this organization approves of the opinions expressed within the Faculty Council of
Community College’s and the University Faculty Senate’s resolutions regarding Board inclusion,
FCCC G2-2006 and a “Resolution on Supporting the Addition of the FCCC President to the SUNY
Board of Trustees” respectively.
