Voting on the resolutions to amend The Faculty Code of University Government ended yesterday at midnight.
All three resolutions were passed by this vote of the general faculty after having been passed by the Faculty Council earlier this fall.
The Administrative Board of the Library has 15 members. At present, seven members are elected by the faculty, seven are appointed by the chair of the faculty, and one (the University Librarian) serves ex officio. Two of the appointees are from the Health Affairs schools. This amendment changes the Health Affairs seats to elected ones, increasing the number of elected members to nine.
This amendment increases the membership of the Faculty Information Technology Advisory Committee from seven members to fifteen members to enable broader representation from academic units across campus.
This amendment increases the membership of the Faculty Committee on Research from nine to ten members, and stipulates that members must have active research portfolios. It requires the committee’s membership to represent a wide range of disciplines and academic units, and specifies the ranks of some of the members to provide representation across ranks. It also amends the committee’s charge to clarify the relationship between the committee and the Vice Chancellor for Research, and to emphasize certain issues.
Many thanks to all who voted!
