Charles B. Smith SACUA and |
SACUA/Senate
Assembly Chair-Elect Charles B. Smith Statement I am extremely pleased that my colleagues on SACUA made me their unanimous choice to lead the Faculty Senate, the Senate Assembly, and its executive committee, SACUA, for the next year. The range of issues now facing the faculty and their importance to the well-being of our University have rarely been so compelling. They include a proposal to lengthen the tenure probationary period, authority of faculty in unit governance decisions as well as in University-wide governance, the role of faculty in decisions that affect the well-being of the academic community, the University's evolving conflict of interest and conflict of commitment policies, admissions of students and academic standards, evaluation of administrator performance, fairness of the faculty grievance process, and the preservation and enhancement of benefits for active and retired faculty. One key to making progress on these many important issues will be to achieve increased transparency in administrative undertakings that affect the intellectual and academic life of our great University. I invite all the faculty to join in affirming our common commitment to strengthening shared governance, preserving academic freedom, and maintaining high standards of academic and intellectual performance that make our University one of the world's most outstanding institutions of higher education. |
