The University Senate of Michigan Technological University


Proposal 21-12
(Voting Units:  Full Senate)

 

“Proposal to Amend the Senate Bylaws”

 

 

Background:

 

The Senate Bylaws have not been updated since December 2008.  There have been changes in department names and the representation units since that time so it is necessary to reflect these changes in the bylaws.  The detailed breakdown of the units is on the website and in the Senate office.  The order in part C has been changed but the content, apart from correcting the name for the GSG, is identical.

 

 

Proposal:

 

The following strikethroughs and changes in red are requested.
