Ad Hoc Committee
The concept of a new University Senate
dates back to September 24, 1969, when an ad
hoc committee of students and faculty
proposed that the present University Senate
have its name changed and that a revised
University Senate be established.
However, because of red tape, it has taken
nearly two years for this proposal to be
submitted to students.
Last week, the Council approved a "Draft
Constitution" that would establish the
guidelines for a University Senate. A portion of
its preamble reads:
"Be it resolved that a University Senate be
established on the principle of governance by
administration, faculty, and students together,
it being the right and responsibility of each
group to find ways to further the pursuit of a
liberal education.
