Jeffrey Jordan:

Among the roles played by UD none is more important than that of educating students.  The Faculty Senate has a duty to ensure the quality of that education by its vetting of proposed courses, its review of academic offerings, its deliberations regarding educational matters, and the vital committee work performed throughout the year.  Helping to discharge that duty would be a prominent goal of mine if elected. My history with the senate includes serving as its vice-president, chairing the UGS committee, and chairing the library committee.  For several years I was the senate parliamentarian, as well as a member of the Executive committee, and Coordinating committee, and I am currently on the Faculty Welfare & Privileges committee.  These experiences have deepened my conviction in the importance of the senate and my appreciation for the service of its members.
