Highlights of the College Park Senate meeting on February 9, 2006

Linda Clements, VP for Student Affairs:
- 12,2000 students live on campus, 37,000 meals a day
- 9,600 people use shuttle buses
- Parking for 35,000-45,000 per day, 8 people write all the parking tickets
- 10,000 students do intramural sports, 2,000 companies recruit on campus
- Lots of other numbers I didn’t get
Faculty Affairs committee, Ken Holum, chair
- Voting on APT cases for faculty with split appointments: Faculty generally vote in that unit that holds their tenure, but in some cases can vote in another department where they do not have tenure. (Rewording to make decision already approved in September clearer.) An amendment to prohibit tenured faculty in another department voting on tenure in the department not having tenure failed. The change was approved.
- Proposal to grant emeritus status to Librarians III and IV (since they are now considered faculty). Approved.
Program, Curricula and Courses Committee, James Baeder, chair
- Eliminate Criminal Justice Master’s Program and move students into Criminology and Criminal Justice. Approved
- Add a track in Entrepreneurship to General Business Major. Approved.
No new business.
