Subject: Governance Changes to Budget
Committee
Importance: High
Dear Rona and
Rick,
We have not been able
to reach Ed Deak to comment on the issue, however, Paul Caster and myself
completely endorse the proposal to 1) add the Chair of the Faculty Salary
Committee and 2) the Chair of the Educational Planning Committee to the
University Budget Committee. The addition of the Chair of the Faculty Salary
Committee has long been advocated by faculty members of the University Budget
Committee and was part of the intent in having Carl elected to both the Faculty
Salary Committee and the University Budget Committee two years ago. The addition
of the Chair of the Educational Planning Committee to the University Budget
Committee, in fact, reflects a two year conversation between the Executive
Vice-President and the Educational Planning Committee as to the role of this
committee in the educational strategic planning process. It is in the same
spirit as the elevation of the position of Academic Vice President to Senior
Vice President for Academic Affairs with the intention of highlighting the
preeminent importance of the Academic Division to the University mission
statement.
Sincerely,
Carl
Scheraga
