FACULTY SENATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MINUTES

10:00am – 327 Graff Main Hall

July 15, 2009

Members: Joe Heim, Kerrie Hoar, Becky LeDocq, Adrienne Loh (via conference call) & Bart Van
Voorhis
Visitors: Bob Hoar

1. Chair’s Report:
a. Furloughs: January 15, 2010, and January 14, 2011, have been forwarded to UWS
as official all-university furlough days for UWL. Since these dates fall during J-term,
they will need to be approved by Faculty Senate as non-instructional days. SEC will
bring the following motion to the first Faculty Senate meeting of the 2009-10
academic year for approval. The Faculty Senate designates January 15, 2010, and
January 14, 2011, as non-teaching days. (M/S/P)
b. Dates: The following dates will be scheduled for fall semester Faculty Senate
meetings: 9/17, 10/1, 10/15, 10/29, 11/12, 12/3 & 12/17 (if needed). Spring dates
will be scheduled as soon as the BOR has approved their spring meeting dates.

2. Posterous Website (Bob Hoar): This website could be used to keep the campus community
and committees updated on what is going on in Faculty Senate and its committees. Very
simply, this website is a free service for educational entities. Each committee would have its
own “blog” site to which all agendas and minutes could be added by simply including the
blogs email address in the committee email list.
a. How does this site differ from the Faculty Senate website? Agendas are not posted
to the FS website and there is a significant time lag for the posting of minutes.
b. What if something is posted by accident? Someone will be in charge of monitoring
this site and committee chairs/secretaries would need to be instructed on what items
should be included on this website.
c. When would we begin using this site? Fall 2009 implementation.
d. SEC will discuss Posterous further at its next meeting.
