Rules Committee

At the last Faculty Senate meeting, I was elected to the Rules Committee -- the group that sets the agenda and holds monthly meetings with the leadership of the administration. I will complete a one-semester term of the "at-large" seat left vacant when the previous occupant accepted a position in the administration.

The first issue brought before the Rules Committee was from the Writing Committee, which I've previously served on. The Writing Committee wants to make College Writing a prerequisite for Junior Year Writing. The General Education and the Academic Matters Councils have been consulted and expressed their support. Now, according to the chair of the Rules Committee, what's needed is a formal motion and a paper trail through the councils.

Always remember to be careful what you wish for…
