I. Approval of Agenda
The agenda was approved unanimously with the addition of Critical Thinking
moved 1st under unfinished business.
II. FA Chair’s Report – S. Camp
Susan reported: Thanks to Bob Cole for bringing the FAEB to consider how we
determine the agenda for Faculty Assembly meetings. As you might know, we
(faculty assembly executive board) have worked to organize our agenda so that
issues that are time sensitive are dealt with early and those, where more
discussion is believed to be needed, may be seem to drag out. I don’t
believe that power is in my thoughts as I think about what the agenda should
look like. I am urging more conversation with FA reps and their
department colleagues. Please suggest ways that this can happen, such as
an extended list-serve to distribute proposals or all proposals from councils
coming both in hard copy and digital (for easy distribution).
SPAB—has been constituted and at least 9 faculty will be on the Board.
The President will tell us more about it at the General Faculty meeting.
Writing Across the Curriculum Task Force—Has been approved by the President
with proposed membership (based on discussion with Gen Ed Council and Rhonda
Mandel etc). Leigh Bacher has agreed to convene the TF.
We will elect a new SUNY Oswego Senator and alternate (up to 2, 3-year
terms) today at the general faculty meeting.
Elect departmental FA reps and alternates ASAP (report results to me at susanc@oswego.edu). Canvas colleagues to
serve on councils next year. With a full slate of nominees and the
CLICKERS we can have elections completed in 1 ½ meetings. Report any
discrepancies in council terms to carroll@oswego.edu.
FA Clerk—please nominate a great student to be FA clerk for the next 2-3
years (training can start immediately)
