The Minutes from the June 15, 2006 meeting were approved.

Senate Committees

• Julee gave a brief overview of the subcommittees of the College Senate.  Descriptions and membership criteria are found in the by-laws on the Senate website.  Call for nominations to committees with openings will be soon. 
• Email Julee with any questions you may have about these committees.

Campus Compact Statement

• Lori Osterhoudt is working to put together a Task Force that will develop this statement.

Senate Scholarships

• Discussion continued on how to get more candidates for these scholarships.   A memo asking for nominations will be sent out the first week of April. Marsha Stock made a motion that we ask for at least two ranked nominations from each Division.  The motion was seconded and voting showed all in favor.

Election Criteria

• Julee was approached concerning the possible situation of a person running unopposed and making sure we elect the best person for a position. 
• Any changes in election criteria will involve a change in the by-laws.  By-law changes require that they be listed on the agenda for two meetings before voting can occur.

The meeting was adjourned at 4:27 p.m. so senators could attend the 9/11 Memorial Service at 4:30. 

The next meeting will be Monday, September 25 at 4:15 PM.
