PROPOSAL 1-00

SENATE RESOLUTION ON THE PROVOST AND VICE PRESIDENT FOR ACADEMIC AFFAIRS SEARCH COMMITTEE

President Curtis J. Tompkins has appointed seven members to the search committee for Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs. These appointments are in direct violation of University Policy, Senate Proposal 12-95, Search Procedures for Deans and University Administrators, which provides for two presidential appointees. We hereby request that the members of the search committee elected by the University Senate stand down (from service) until such time as President Tompkins complies with University Policy by reducing his appointees from seven to two, or Senate Proposal 12-95 has been revised. We note that Senate Proposal 12-95 was approved under the Senate Constitution and approved by the President and is, thus, under Board of Control rules, official University Policy.

Adopted by Senate: September 15, 1999
