Discussion and Debate Forum:

This is a continuing segment of the Senate agenda. Members of the University Senate will have the first privilege to speak and express their concerns, followed by comments from non-senate members. No one may speak a second time on an issue until everyone has had an opportunity to speak once.  All speakers will have a three-minute maximum time for debate.

 

The Senate leadership seeks to facilitate communication as a regular function of the Senate.  An objective of the forum is to allow time for open dialogue regarding issues affecting the University and to encourage an environment of tolerance and respect for others.  All University Senate members, faculty, and friends of the Senate are invited to participate.

 

Today’s topic for discussion & debate: Court Appointed Bradley Report on JAC Complaint
