3. Resolutions:
a. Recommendation from the Faculty Senate Coordinating Committee on Education (Cihan Cobanoglu, Chair) with the concurrence of the Executive Committee (Amy Johnson, Chair) for the request to change the name of the CHEP College (attachment)
Whereas, the current name of the college of Human Services, Education and Public Policy is cumbersome, not typical of college names at other universities, and not well understood beyond the campus, and
Whereas, the “College of Education and Public Policy” is a clear, concise name that identifies well-known domains of inquiry and scholarship, and
Whereas, that name describes the primary foci of the current College of Human Services, Education and Public Policy, and
Whereas, the College Council and a full meeting of the College faculty and staff voted to support the change of the College name, and
Whereas, the change in name is also supported by the Interim Dean and the Provost, be it therefore
Resolved, that the Faculty Senate recommends the title College of Human Services, Education and Public Policy be changed to College of Education and Public Policy.
VII.
Introduction of New Business
Such items as may come before the Senate. (No motion introduced under new business, except a motion to refer to committee, shall be acted upon until the next meeting of the Senate.)
