Proposal Background

 

The Bylaws of the University Senate identify the various academic, research, and non-academic units that elect representatives to the Senate in Section II.  Representation Units.

 

The Departments of Biomedical Engineering and Engineering Fundamentals have previously been unrepresented in the Senate and their addition reflects their inclusion as represented units.

 

The name of the Department of Physical Education has been changed to Exercise Science, Health and Physical Education to more accurately reflect the activities and mission of the department and has been approved by the Senate, Administration, and Board of Control.

 

The composition of the Non-Academic Units has been rearranged to better reflect common interests and proximity of each unit.
