SUBJECT:

January 31, 2012 Representative Assembly Meeting

Dear Colleagues:

Our second meeting of the 2011-12 academic year is scheduled for Tuesday, January 31 at 3:30 p.m., in the Leichtag Building Conference Room. The Notice of Meeting (agenda) and all pertinent documents may be found on the Senate's Web page at:
http://senate.ucsd.edu/assembly/agenda/current.htm

The Assembly will hear updates from Vice Chancellor Brown about the revised patent form, from University Librarian Schottlaender about library consolidation, and from Registrar Haid about the progress on implementation of an electronic grading system. Three proposals for amendments to Divisional legislation have also been submitted for the Assembly's consideration.

Another important item of business is the election of the second of two members of the Assembly to serve as representatives to the Senate Council. The Senate Council oversees the functioning of the Division, determines the agenda for meetings of the Representative Assembly, and is empowered to take action for the Assembly in emergencies. If you intend to make a nomination from the floor, please make sure in advance that the person is willing to serve. For the list of this year's Assembly members, click on:

Sincerely yours,

Joel Sobel, Chair Academic Senate, San Diego Division
