The Marshall University Faculty Senate Executive Committee held a meeting on Monday. The meeting concluded with everyone in agreement on the two major issues.
The meeting covered informational and procedural items by Camilla Brammer, the senate chair. The senate also discussed two policies including SR-00-00-0 BAPC and SR-10-11-03R SCWC.
The first policy, SR-00-00-0 BAPC, was regarding the incomplete policy in the Marshall University Undergraduate Catalogue. The committee was asked to read and look over the policy. There were a few mistakes which were found by two professors from the School of Journalism and Mass Communications, Burnis Morris and Chuck Bailey. The mistakes found were grammar and incorrect phrasing
There was discussion with the Incomplete Policy about what the definition of a student in “good standing” is. The committee agreed that a definition is necessary for the approval of the policy. After taking time to review the policy, the committee then motioned to correct the policy.
The second policy, SR-10-11-03R SCWC, about the Code of Rights and Responsibilities in the student handbook and procedures following acts of discrimination or harassment, had no discussion on the policy. The committee voted “aye” and the policy was passed.
Brammer said “if there is no other business, we are adjourned.” The 19-minute meeting was held in the John Spotts room of the Marshall University Memorial Student Center at noon.
The next meeting for the Marshall University Faculty Senate Executive Committee will be held on Jan., 11, 2011 at noon in the John Spotts room.
