A couple notes from Monday eveningâ??s Faculty Senate meeting at Bascom Hall:
** UW-Madison Chancellor Biddy Martin and University Committee chair Bill Tracy both expressed concerns about an “educational attainment initiative” that apparently is in the works by the UW System.
While Martin says she is all for educating and graduating more students at UW-Madison, she stressed that would only be possible if state funding for the university increased.
** Two separate proposals to amend Faculty Policies and Procedures received a “first reading” Monday and there was no pushback to either. It appears likely those amendments will be voted on and passed at the April 12 meeting.
