Faculty Senate to discuss evaluation, curriculum

Kaleb Warnock

The Faculty Senate will be discussing additions and revisions to the faculty handbook Tuesday in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union. It will be addressing section 5.7, which deals with faculty evaluation and reviewing and proposing a new section.

The new section, 2.8, deals with renaming academic units. It’s intended to replace section 10.8 that was previously removed when the entire section was amended last spring. The change last April was intended to clarify the process of changing, adding and removing curriculum.

The senate is made up of a system of 82 total representatives elected by the general faculty and divided into seven caucuses making up each college.

The senate conducts its business through five committees and the executive board, made up of five councils and the chairpersons of the seven college caucuses and officers.
