Senate Bill 25-26-10

Bill ID: 25-26-10
Name: Proposal to Amend Senate Bylaws Regarding Senate Committee Charges
Proposed: 08/11/2025
Proposal: The proposal to amend the University Senate bylaws regarding University Senate committee charges. This proposal is coming from a topic that was discussed in the new business of the May SEC meeting and was inspired by an issue that arose during the April 24, 2025 University Senate meeting regarding the review of the APAS Committee’s report regarding the Proposal for Bereavement Policies and Practices Toward an Inclusive Community of Care (Senate Document #23-24-27).

Based on this experience, the proposal is recommending that any recommendation brought forward by a University Senate committee may not be amended on the Senate floor unless a detailed written objection outlining the specific concerns is submitted to the Office of the University Senate at least forty-eight (48) hours in advance of the meeting which the recommendation is scheduled to be presented.

This proposal would require a bylaw change.
