Dear Leslie, members of the Faculty Senate Council, and faculty,

We have received the December 10, 2020 Faculty Senate Council resolution requesting that the Board of Trustees add two faculty representatives to the Board, one a faculty member elected by the faculty to a five-year position on the Board, and one a faculty member with expertise in economics or finance appointed by the President of the Faculty Senate (with approval from a majority of the Faculty Senate Council) to a two-year position on the Board’s Finance Committee (FSC2020.12.09.3R).

The Chair of the Board of Trustees, John M. Sobrato, has referred the resolution to the Governance and Nominating committee of the Board, which is charged with making formal recommendations to the Board on adding committee members, trustees, or observers to the Board. The committee is next scheduled to meet on January 25, 2021.

We are grateful to the Faculty Senate Council members for their commitment to the University and to the importance of collaborative decision making.

  

Sincerely,

Kevin F. O'Brien, S.J.
President

Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs
