Agenda Items
1. Chair Mark Taggart
provided a welcome and explained the duties of the committee. There was a brief discussion on

Appendix D. Of these documents, only Appendix C has been implemented as of this
date.
2. Election of officers.
Chair: Martínez
Vice-Chair: Justiniano
Secretary: Mary Gilliland

[Note: Mary Gilliland later requested that her name

3. George Bailey
(Philosophy) came to the committee to discuss concerns about Appendix C and
Appendix D and to ask questions about revised Appendix D. The group focused on
the attached list of concerns and agreed to focus on these issues in the next
set of revisions to Appendix D and other documents. The group expressed their
thanks to Professor Bailey for his review and discussion of these documents
4. Justiniano made the
following motion and was seconded: Part XII and Part XIII be implemented as
currently written. The motion was revised to eliminate Part XIII from it. In
the discussion of the motion, Morrison spoke against the motion and urged the
committee to use a uniform process across campus. The group posed a question to
Zigas about policy implementation and timing. Zigas responded that
interpretations of implementation are in the best interest of the institution
and can be decided by the Chancellor in consultation with the Chair of the
Faculty and the Faculty Governance Committee. The motion failed.
