University Senate to hold
final meeting
By Dave Stephens
Assistant Campus Editor
President Jischke is expected to discuss Purdue’s
part of the state's budget and possibly the construction of fences around
two of Purdue’s fountains during today’s University Senate
meeting.
This senate meeting, which is the final one of
the semester, is expected to be short since the only bill for action
requires selecting members for the Steering and Nomination committees.
The Steering Committee is responsible for the origination
and distribution of the agenda for each meeting of the University Senate.
The committee is also responsible for receiving communication from faculty
and directing that communication to the appropriate senate committee
or officer.
The Nomination Committee’s major task is making
nominations for senate and University committees.
Stuart Offenbach, professor of physiological sciences,
said the meeting will be one of the shorter meetings of the semester,
but that the nominations are important.
The nominees for the steering committee are Wanda
Fox, an associate professor in the School of Education, John Graveel,
a professor in the School of Agriculture, Lee Weith, a professor in
the School of Science and Lisa Xu, an associate professor in the Schools
of Engineering.
The nominees for the Nomination Committee include
Christopher Hoffman, a professor in the School of Science, Craig Miller,
a professor in the School of Technology, Glenn Sparks, a professor in
the School of Liberal Arts and John Zimbrick, a professor in the School
of Health Sciences.
Offenbach also said the Steering Committee has
received a new chair, Joseph Camp, a professor of biological sciences
at Purdue North Central.
"All of the committees are in the process
of electing new chairs," said Offenbach. "Some because people
have stepped down, but also because this is when new chairs are elected."
Today’s University Senate meeting will not
take place in room 302 of Stewart Center as usual, but will meet in
room 218 of Stewart Center.
