Updates on Senate Initiatives
Aside from the many emergency policies that have been considered by Faculty Senate Committees during this crisis, the Senate has continued to make progress on the larger tasks it embarked on at the beginning of the year. Some of these tasks include: • Clarifying and providing better organization within the Faculty Code • Review and approval of new academic programs and curriculum that support regional and national educational demands to keep CWU relevant and adaptable to changes • Development of infrastructure to support general education through transfer agreements, creation of assessment tools, review of curriculum, developing advising efforts, and converging efforts to create communities of practice • Review of policy to improve and clarify how SEOIs are used for effective evaluation of faculty teaching The Executive Committee plans on providing the Trustees with a complete report of this year’s progress for the July meeting of the Trustees.
Conclusion
We thank you for the opportunity to update you on our Senate initiatives. We look forward to a time when we are able to return to campus-life for students, faculty, and staff and are eager to help in any way we can. We continue to remain positive about the direction of the university and look forward to future interactions with the Board.
