There was additional discussion on the need to revise the Constitution of the Faculty. To do this, the General Faculty Meeting is required to have a quorum of ¼ of the voting faculty (approximately 250) present. Rita researched past minutes and found that the Constitution was revised in 1988 but items concerning the Faculty Senate were excluded. President James Richards will make an announcement in the spring requesting faculty members attend a General Faculty Meeting to vote on this item of business.
Chuck Mason brought up the topic of plagiarism. After careful consideration and thoughtful deliberation it was decided that this be addressed as a University concern and be brought up at the lunch with President Roselle.
Briefly discussed was the class scheduling issue. It will be looked at again at a later time.
