Facilities Planning and Management is making the rounds.

The Faculty Senate will hear a discussion from interim department director Carol Strode and possibly others Tuesday.

“I gather they’re doing a dog and pony show,” by talking to other university groups, said senate chair Anne Zahlan.

The meetings are mainly informational and will likely be scheduled annually, Strode said.

“Last year we met with various organizations on campus, primarily as an update on projects current and future,” she said.

Senate members also could discuss temperature control in the classroom, an already tentative agenda item, Zahlan said.

The senate will review last week’s election results so they can be released to the university community.

Faculty committee and council elections were last Wednesday and Thursday.

The election will change membership for 11 groups such as the Council on University Planning and Budget and Enrollment Management Advisory Committee.

The Council of Illinois University Senates met at Eastern last week. Nine senate chairs and vice-chairs attended, including Zahlan.

Eastern’s senate will discuss their meeting and present senate members with a constitution for the council.

“We need to do some kind of ratification … as far as getting this organization officially recognized,” Zahlan said.

The senate organized a faculty forum this semester on academic freedom. Senate members have organized a report on feedback from faculty who attended.

The senate will look for items to possibly make specific future recommendations, she said.

“If not, we’ll just go ahead and file a report.”

The Faculty Senate has previously discussed the structure of shared governance for academic technology and asked for faculty input.

Discussion could continue Tuesday.

The senate meets at 2 p.m. in the Arcola-Tuscola Room of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.
