Name: Revision to the Senate Bylaws to include the Post-Doctoral Scholar Title within the Single Member Constituency for Entry-Level Professional Track Faculty
Proposed: 10/21/2015
Sponsor: ERG Committee
Proposal: During its review of Senate constituency definitions through its work on apportionment of the University Senate, the Senate ERG Committee realized that faculty with the title Post-Doctoral Scholar have no representation on the Senate due to the fact that this title was established after the recent revisions to the University of Maryland Plan of Organization for Shared Governance and the Bylaws of the University Senate were approved in spring 2015.
