President James Richards discussed Acting Provost Dan Rich’s suggestion for video streaming Senate meetings.  He asked members of the Executive Committee for the comments.  It was decided that a resolution will be drafted and brought forward to get a “Sense of the Senate” from a non-binding Senator vote.

 

President Richards stated that Acting Provost Dan Rich will be placed on the November agenda to address faculty demographics.

 

President Richards discussed results of an IRB meeting with Dan Rich, Frazier Russell, and Mary Jane Wilkins concerning the membership makeup and term served .  The membership does not represent intervention type research and members are on the committee for a lifetime.  He noted that the committee membership is not in compliance with federal regulations.  Before bringing this topic to the Senate floor we will wait for a period of two weeks to see if some resolution will occur.  If nothing is resolved, the Senate may be asked to vote upon placing the committee composition under the jurisdiction of the COCAN Committee (with the exception of the community member).

 

 

                The meeting adjourned at 9:45 a.m.
