Senate Executive Committee (SEC)
The SEC serves as the “gateway” to the Senate by reviewing proposals from the campus community and potentially charging them to a Senate committee but also reviewing committee reports to determine if they are ready for Senate consideration. In addition, the SEC meets monthly with the President and Vice Presidents and acts on behalf of the Senate when it is not in session. Seven faculty members (with no more than two from any College/School), one exempt staff member, one non-exempt staff member, two graduate student members, and two undergraduate student Senators will be elected. The term for all SEC members is one year.
“I found the Senate Executive Committee to always be a space for thoughtful, nuanced discussion of important campus issues, whether of immediate impact or longer outlook. Additionally, the monthly SEC breakfast with the President, Provost, and senior administrators provided a window into larger concerns of the University, and an opportunity to lend guidance to those at the top.” -Marc Pound, past Senator, SEC member, and committee chair
