Proposal to Change the Procedures of the Commission on the Status of Women -
Dr. Sharon Whitney
Dr. Whitney had been asked to speak on behalf of Colleen Hays, Chairperson of
the Commission on the Status of Women requesting a change in the Procedures of
the Commission under membership to read as follows:
The Chair of the College of Arts and Sciences Women and Gender Studies
Coordinating Committee will be an ex-officio member of the Commision.
Dr. Whitney MOVED approval of the change with Dr. Burduck SECONDING. A
question was asked if this would change the number associated with membership.
Dr. Kemp said the ex-officio members of committees on campus traditionally
are not counted in the total count of membership. For clarification, Dr. Kemp
then suggested an editorial amendment to the MOTION to read:
The Chair of the College of Arts and Sciences Women and Gender Studies
Coordinating Committee will be a non voting ex-officio member of the
Commission.
The MOTION CARRIED with the editorial amendment.
Such Other Matters
Dr. Matson handed out a copy of "A Vision for Tennessee Technological
University", a product of the ad hoc committee on vision. She said the
first two pages are the condensed version of the document and the last three
pages explain the process. Background information considered by the committee
included the Final Report from the 1999-2000 Ad Hoc Vision Committee, the May
2000 Report on the Analysis of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and
Threats by the University Marketing Committee, TBR Chancellor Manning's draft
plan for An Educated Tennessee (7/12/00), and a variety of corporate and
university vision statements.
