| 1. Rich Bennett called the meeting to order and announced that we would consider the university calendar first. It was moved and seconded to authorize Rich to write a letter to Steve Hamrick to the effect that the Arts and Sciences Faculty would like to see a comprehensive university wide calendar, to include meetings, at the beginning of each term. The Faculty has a particular interest in a master schedule with school meetings, department meetings, standing committee meetings, etc. An amendment was approved to send the letter to the Vice President for Academic Affairs, as well as to the Faculty Moderator. Another amendment was approved to use the letter to voice vigorous objection to a change in the exam schedule that resulted in abbreviated exam times, a change that came not only without faculty approval, but without faculty consultation of any kind. The motion, with amendments, was approved unanimously. | |||||
