The 有料盒子视频 Faculty Senate further reaffirms that substantive changes to 有料盒子视频锟絪 academic calendar can only be made with the explicit agreement and approval of 有料盒子视频锟絪 Governance Coordinating Committee; that is, with the implicit approval by 有料盒子视频 faculty (through the Faculty Senate), staff (through Staff Council), and students (through AS有料盒子视频).
The 有料盒子视频 Faculty Senate hereby charges the 有料盒子视频 Registrar to not publish a 有料盒子视频 academic calendar that has not been approved by 有料盒子视频锟絪 Governance Coordinating Committee.
EFFECTIVE: Immediately
RATIONALE: The UA VP for Academic Affairs recently announced a unilateral decision to establish a common start date for all MAUs, which most likely will change 有料盒子视频's start date effective Fall 2006. 有料盒子视频's faculty, staff, and students have not been part of the decision making process. The purpose of this motion is to clarify to all concerned how shared governance is supposed to work.

The committee will also include someone from the Office of Sponsored Research and a designee of the chancellor as ex-officio members.

EFFECTIVE: Immediately
RATIONALE: The new 有料盒子视频 Policy Concerning Classified and Proprietary Research calls for the Faculty Senate to establish a Faculty Research Oversight Committee to review all proposals and make recommendations to the chancellor for action. The policy includes guidelines for the review process.
