Bieszczads question about what faculty should do in case something like what happened at Virginia Tech happened here. -Student Services has distributed a brochure about the counseling services available on campus. If you wish, we can also invite Officer Reed to speak on the issue for a future meeting. -In response to the question about junior faculty participating on the hiring committees. -"President Rush has made no decisions regarding pre-tenured faculty membership on next year's faculty search committees, nor has he received any such recommendations from any administrator." -In response to Antonio Jimenezs question about the California Institute on Human Services. -Barbara Thorpe, AVP, responded that CIHS is a lessee on our campus and their lease expires March, 2008. We have informed them that we will not be renewing their lease because the space is needed for our quickly growing campus but they will be able to lease space in the Town Center if they wish to stay on campus -In response to the question about grant applications not submitted by OSRP. -Barbara Thorpe, AVP, indicated that 91Ƶ had discovered, through media coverage, that the CIHS was the subject of internal and federal audits on selected grants and two top CIHS administrators have been put on leave by Sonoma State. Given these unexpected circumstances and OSRPs unsuccessful attempts to communicate with CIHS employees, 91Ƶ decided not to move forward with the grant writing/consultation services of CIHS for these proposed grant projects. The CIHS unit was subsequently disbanded by SSU and findings from the audit are available on the CSU website. New Questions -L. Castaneda would like to know the process by which sabbaticals are scored? How are the awards decided? Report from President Rush -The President congratulated everyone on another successful year.

Smith School of Business and Economics that the building be named the Martin V. Smith Center for Integrative Decision-Making. Old Business SP 06-22 Representative Senate Proposal -G. Wood clarified a few questions what were brought up at the last meeting: 1. Yes, larger programs do get more representatives than smaller programs. 2. Certain issues such as; changes to By-laws or Academic structure changes will require a vote by the entire Senate as a whole. 3. Lecturer representation depends whether they are full-time or part-time lecturers. -B. Cordeiro thanked the task force for all their work but at this time he thinks we should stay as a Senate of a whole. -I. Grzegorczyk believes we should stay as a Senate of a whole because quorum has not been an issue this year. She encouraged faculty to vote the proposal down. -J. Peters says that right now people who teach during Senate time are excluded where if there was a Representative Senate they would still be represented by someone else. She added that faculty are already overworked and the amount of service is immense. -J. Karp spoke against the proposal because there are too many questions left unanswered in regards to who would be considered a representative. -I. Itkonen reiterated that as a junior faculty she feels that she has been able to contribute to the Senate this year and worries that she would be excluded if it were changed to a Representative Senate.

Grzegorczyk offered a friendly amendment to the motion asking the quorum be set at 10% so that a least a few faculty members are required to show up. A.J. Bieszczad did not accept the friendly amendment. -T. Milburn spoke against the motion pointing out that as few as three or four people would be required to attend and be able to make decisions for everyone else. She feels that the quorum should be at least 40%. -R. Christopher said the 0% quorum was out of order saying it had to be at least 1%. A.J. Bieszczad accepted the amendment to change it to a 10% quorum. -P. Hampton said 10% quorum was too low and he would prefer instead to extend the current policy of 40% quorum for another year because 10% would not be an adequate representation of the entire faculty. -J. Grier concerned about faculty who are unable to attend Senate due to their teaching schedule and whether their numbers will count against the quorum requirement. Is there a way to not count faculty who are legitimately teaching? -J. Balen would prefer a 50 to 51% quorum, she feels there is more loss of representation with a smaller quorum.

Karp offered a friendly amendment to the wording in the policy changing the word contract to agreement. A. Wallace accepted the amendment on behalf of Faculty Affairs. -I. Grzegorczyk recommended the information be posted as reference material instead of making it a policy because the various programs have different needs when it comes to syllabi. She added that the longer the syllabus was, the less likely the students were to read it. -S. Anderson gave a recent example of a problem he had when he changed a date on his syllabi and a student did not hear the announcement.
