SUBJECT:

November 29, 2011 Representative Assembly Meeting

Dear Colleagues:

Our first meeting of the 2011-12 academic year is scheduled for Tuesday, November 29 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

Chancellor Fox and Executive Vice Chancellor Subramani will both address the Assembly at this meeting. In addition, the Assembly will hear a report prepared by the Committee on Academic Freedom as charged by the Assembly at its May 24, 2011 meeting.

Another important item of business at the first meeting is the election 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.

If you cannot attend next week's meeting, please be sure to notify your alternate to do so in your stead. Your participation matters. I look forward to seeing you November 29th.

Sincerely yours, Joel Sobel, Chair Academic Senate, San Diego Division
