Delegates for Faculty Undergraduate Committee Chairs

on SCUS [SCUS 09-441

DATE ?

September 18, 2009

Action undertaken by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies

at its meeting of September 17, 2009, gives rise to the following

?

recommendation:

Motion:

That Senate approve a revision to the membership provisions of

the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies, so that in the

event that the Undergraduate Committee Chair from a Faculty is

unable to attend a meeting of SCUS, the Faculty Dean is

authorized to appoint a faculty replacement.

Rationale

The existing terms of membership for SCUS do not allow for a delegate,

designate or representative to attend in place of the Faculty

Undergraduate Committee Chair, who sits on SCUS ex-officio. Due to

the nature of SCUS's business, it is important that all Faculties be

represented and this motion provides a procedure for a short term

replacement if an Undergraduate Committee Chair is absent. If

approved, this would bring SCUS in tine with other like committees
