Motion regarding changes to teaching schedules<\/p>\n The Faculty Senate objects to the lack of faculty consultation on the proposed class schedule changes to take effect for the spring 2013 semester. This lack of faculty involvement constitutes a violation of the spirit of shared governance since the new schedule will have a direct impact on instruction and on faculty life. We are asking that a working group that includes faculty and student representatives be formed to consider scheduling options that respect the pedagogical needs of the various disciplines and that no schedule changes be put into effect until the group\u2019s recommendations have been approved by both the Senate and the Provost. We propose that this group begin its work immediately and submit its recommendations by Oct. 1, 2012.<\/p>\n 12. Communications<\/p>\n a.
