Constitutional Review, Apportionment & Organization Report

2011-12 Charge 3 - Write a policy or modify the existing policy with regard to timely and suitable consultation and notification of the faculty when it is deemed necessary to temporarily suspend a policy in the PPM. (passed EC 3/4/2010 – Carried forward)

After extensive discussion and research, the CRAO Committee decided not to purpose any changes to the Constitution regarding this issue. Although we did not put forward any constitutional changes, the CRAO Committee felt that the leadership of the faculty senate should carry out a discussion with the Provost, President and the Trustees to develop improved communication strategies should their be a need to suspend the PPM in the future. We came to the conclusion that a negotiation with the Trustees would be more productive than any constitutional changes.
