Faculty Senate Resolutions
2005 - 2006
April 10, 2006
Motion FS 05-06/04-01 Campus Building Projects
Whereas we would like to address the recent concerns about several campus building projects, we make the following motion.
Whereas we would like to address the recent concerns about several campus building projects, we make the following motion:
It is moved that the Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs be invited to attend the first or second faculty senate meeting of the academic year and present the following items to the senate:
1. Current (ongoing or recently completed) construction projects and status
2. New Construction projects for the coming year
3. Other projects and initiatives of importance
All projects with a budget over $50,000 would be provided in summary form in writing (electronic) in the Senate agenda, while larger projects would be outlined at the meeting. The projects presented would include projects funded from any source (capital funds, bond money, donations, R&R, etc.).
In addition, we recommend that a member of the Faculty Senate, perhaps from the Campus Planning Committee, be appointed to serve on the organizing body for Campus Strategic Planning and Annual Review when it is established in the near future.
We also recommend that the Campus Planning Committee continue its meetings with the Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs each semester. The committee will then report back to the Senate any changes or updates to projects and initiatives during the year.
Finally, we recommend that the Council of Chairs pursue similar guidelines to ensure that the campus community remains well-informed of all important projects and initiatives.
Senator Rardin moved to separate the Campus Planning Committee motion into four individual motions. Senator Ramsey seconded. Motion passed with affirmative vote from Chair Moore.
