UTB/TSC Committees
with Faculty Representation
(as specified in
HOOP, accessed
Ethel Cantu, President,
Academic Senate
In an effort to bring consistency and stability to the committee
structure of UTB/TSC and to ensure faculty representation in the governance of
UTB/TSC, I offer the following recommendations:
1. Maintain a current membership list of each
committee with term of office specified and update this list annually.
2. Activate the Strategic Budgeting and Planning
Committee.
3. Activate the
4. Direct the Chair of the Sponsored Programs
Committee to transmit their recommendations, reports and minutes to the
Academic Senate.
5. Direct the Chair of the Undergraduate Curriculum
Committee to distribute their minutes to the academic community.
6. Clarify or distinguish the budget committees
in 7.4.12 and 7.4.13.
7. Clarify the status of the three committees
specified in the Academic Senate Constitution: Academic Personnel Committee,
Administrative Services Committee, and Student Services Committee.
8. Reconcile the differences between the
Academic Senate Constitution and the other HOOP sections re: the descriptions
of the faculty membership of the Undergraduate Curriculum Committee, Graduate
Committee, and Academic Standards and Student Records Committee. (It is
probably appropriate to strike those committee references in the Academic
Senate Constitution, but that would take a constitutional amendment.)
9. Conduct an election for the Insurance
Committee representatives.
10. Provide a list of the current membership and
term of office for each of the following committees so that the Academic Senate
may fulfill its obligations to recommend faculty for appointment by the end of
the spring semester:
