Working Group on Faculty Senate Governance (2010-2011)

Charge:

The Speaker of the Senate charges a Working Group on Senate Governance to consider both the achievements and the challenges we have faced as the Senate over the past five years, and to provide to the larger Senate, at the conclusion of its deliberations, recommendations it might have for future changes.
