 Subject: MASSMAIL - Monday Oct. 11 Town Hall Meeting

Dear campus community,
You are invited to attend a campus-wide Town Hall meeting to be held on
MONDAY, OCTOBER 11, from 3:10-5:15 pm on the third floor of Levis Faculty
Center. This Town Hall meeting is sponsored by the Executive Committee of
the Academic Senate.The meeting is the first of three special meetings
that will be held on campus between this coming Monday and Nov. 1 to
discuss the recent proposals of the Board of Trustees to introduce changes
to the administrative structure of the University and Campus. The proposals
were forwarded by President Hogan, on behalf of the Board, and require the
advice of our campus Senate.The Board has asked that we forward our
advice in time for it to be considered at its Nov. 18 meeting in Chicago.
Briefly and generally, the Board is making two separate but related
proposals: one to add "Vice President" to the titles of the three campus
Chancellors; and another proposal to create a Vice President of Health
Affairs, and to change the portfolio of the Vice President of Technology
and Economic Development so that it also includes research, with the
consequent title change. The former change would require an amendment to
the Statutes; the second requires an amendment to the General Rules. The
Town Hall meeting scheduled for Monday, Oct. 11 is designed to provide
background information about current campus and University administrative
structure, information  that is essential in order to fully consider the
proposals. We will also begin to collect questions about the proposals
themselves.Everyone is welcome to attend this Town Hall meeting.
Information can be found on the Senate website:
