PROPOSED CORRECTIONS TO MINUTES

Winter Quarter 2000 Meeting

The draft minutes from the two Fall quarter 1999 Senate meetings included in this call will be presented for approval at the next Senate Meeting on 23 February 2000. Senators are asked to submit any proposed corrections or changes to these minutes to the Senate Office in advance of the next meeting, via EMAIL or in WRITING. All proposed changes will be compiled in standardized format into a single list for distribution as a handout at the next meeting. These draft minutes are also available on the Senate WWW homepage at http://senate.ucsc.edu/.

This approach gives Senators an opportunity to read and review changes before being asked to vote on them; gives the Senate staff and the Secretary time to resolve any questions or inconsistencies that may arise; and minimizes time spent on routine matters during meetings. While proposed changes may be checked for consistency, they will not be altered without the proposer's approval. This approach complements, but does not limit in any way, the right of every Senator to propose further changes from the floor of the meeting.

To assist the Senate staff, proposed changes should specify:

1. The location of the proposed change (e.g. item, page, paragraph, sentence…)

2. The exact wording of existing text to be modified or deleted

3. The exact wording of replacement or additional text to be inserted

4. (Optional) The reason for the change if not obvious

Please submit all proposed changes to arrive in the Senate Office no later than 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, February 22, 2000. They should be addressed to the Secretary, c/o Academic Senate Office, 125 Kerr Hall or via email to senate@cats.ucsc.edu.

Note: December 3, 1999 Senate Minutes

In the last paragraph before adjournment, there is an error regarding the vote of the Senator after the Chair declared a tie without any vote from the Officers. The Senator, Professor William Sullivan, actually voted only once in favor of referral, but after the Chair said it was a tie, rose to state he had realized he had made an error and requested his vote be changed.
