Summary of Current Structure • All Chairs serve on Senate • Senate Subcommittees require 13 faculty • Standing Committees require 50 faculty • This is a total of 63 committee assignments Note: Currently, it is possible to be “double booked” on a Senate Subcommittee and a regular standing committee. Note: We have c. 86 full-time faculty available for committee service (not taking into account first year faculty or sabbatical leaves)
Summary Possible Direction #1 • All Chairs serve on Senate • Committees reporting to Senate require 19 faculty—not all of whom need to be department chairs • Standing Committees require 30 faculty • Institutional Review Board is given “as needed” status • This is a total of 49 committee assignments (a reduction of 14 assignments) Note: This scenario may make it possible to avoid “double booking” on a Senate Subcommittee and a regular standing committee.
Summary of Possible Direction #2 • Senate becomes an elected body of chairs, 3 from each division • Executive Senate disappears • Senate the committees that report to it require 22 faculty—not all of whom need to be department chairs • Standing Committees require 30 faculty • Institutional Review Board is given “on call” status • This is a total of 52 committee assignments (a reduction of 11 assignments); we may still avoid “double booking”
