New Business |
|
Consideration of proposed University Ethics Code –The Committee members first engaged in a process discussion regarding our role, whether the Faculty Association needs to consider the document, and how our consideration of the document fits in with the approval sequence, perhaps involving an open hearing with faculty members. The group present recommended that each member of the Committee would edit the document and make suggestions. The Committee Chair would then pass on these individual contributions to Tom Serwatka. |
| |
Discussion then ensued regarding the “identity” of the University of North Florida as represented in various documents and discussions currently evident on campus and in the media. These “texts” variously describe the University as a “teaching institution,” a “comprehensive university,” etc. The group recommended a meeting with President Delaney, the Acting Provost, and/or Tom Serwatka to discuss these issues. |
