College Council Expands Representation

College Council Chair Steve Hunt

At its Friday, October 28 meeting, the College Council voted to expand its membership by adding three representatives: one for administrative/professionals, one for civil service staff, and one for nontenture-track faculty. “I am pleased to announce that we voted to expand Council representation,” said Steve Hunt, College Council Chair. “Adding these representatives will greatly enhance the Council’s perspective and scope.” These changes to the College by-laws will come into effect once they are ratified by the Academic Senate. “This measure is one of great importance,” said Dean Olson, “in that it furthers the College’s goal of true shared governance—governance that is inclusive of all the College’s constituencies—and I am hopeful that departmental-level governance bodies will follow the lead of the College Council.” Once the changes are ratified, the College Office will conduct elections for the new representatives. “As a civil service staff member, it's good to know that the College of Arts and Sciences holds us in high esteem,” said Mickey McCombs, lead staff in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology. “The College has always been ahead of the rest of the campus.”
