The Faculty Senate will discuss interim President Lou Hencken’s proposed calendar for the 2003-2004 and 2004-2005 academic years and to hear reports from various search committees on campus.

The proposed university calendar sets the dates of many university events including the starting date for the semester, the finals schedule, spring break and the last day of classes.

Faculty Senate will review and discuss the proposed calendar to provide Hencken with feedback and any added suggestions the senate has, Bud Fischer, senate chair and an associate biology professor, said Monday.

In other business, the senate expects to hear a report from Blair Lord, vice president for academic affairs, on the progress being made on the search for deans of the College of Education and Professional Studies, the College of Sciences and the Lumpkin College of Business and Applied Sciences.

The presidential search committee, which Fischer chairs, will also give a report.

“We are still working on the strengths and concerns of each candidate,” Fischer said of the presidential search. The committee will deliver unranked evaluations of each candidate to the Board of Trustees in a meeting on April 14.

Fischer said the senate may not get to all of its agenda because Hencken’s State of the University Address is scheduled for 3 p.m. Tuesday in the University Ballroom of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Union. All missed items would be placed on next week’s agenda, he said.

The senate meets at 2 p.m. Tuesday in Conference Room 4440 of Booth Library.
