SUBJECT:

April 21, 2020 Representative Assembly Meeting

Dear Colleagues:

The fourth meeting of the 2019-20 academic year is scheduled for
Tuesday, April 21st from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. The meeting will be held via
Zoom. Representative Assembly members will receive the Zoom link
directly. If you are a Senate member who is not an Assembly
Representative and you would like to attend the meeting, please RSVP to
Ashley Welch at awelch@ucsd.edu to obtain the login instructions. All
Senate members are welcome to attend.

The Notice of Meeting (agenda) and all pertinent documents are available
on the following webpages.

(1) On the Senate’s homepage under Assembly/Council
Meetings, on the lower right side of the page. http://senate.ucsd.edu

(2)On the Representative Assembly-Schedule page.

Although the meeting will start at 3:30, we are asking meeting
participants to begin logging in at 3:15 to allow time for each
participant to be admitted into the meeting. We also ask that your Zoom
name match your real name, so that you may be identified. The meeting
materials include this and other important Zoom information for this
meeting.

The Chancellor and Professor Robert Schooley will address the Assembly
at this meeting, and the following proposals will be presented.

· Proposed slate of candidates for Senate election.
· Proposal to establish a Master of Engineering in
Bioengineering with a specialization in Medical Device Engineering,
Department of Bioengineering.
· Proposal to establish a Master of Science in Health
Informatics, Department of Medicine.

As Zoom meetings do not facilitate the same free-flowing discussion as
in-person meetings, I ask that you review the meeting materials in
advance of the meeting and send questions to academicsenateoffice@ucsd.edu
with the agenda topic number or proposal title in the subject line of the
email, by noon on Monday, April 20th. Your questions will be shared with
the presenters so that they may address them in their presentations, and
thus help to mitigate the challenge presented by a large Zoom meeting.

Primary Representatives and Alternate Representatives should coordinate
their attendance and voting for this meeting. Both may attend; however,
Alternate Representatives may only vote in the absence of the Primary
Representative. Please coordinate who will attend and cast votes, in
advance of the meeting.

Finally, thank you for your extraordinary efforts during this
unprecedented crisis. I am proud to serve as the representative of such
exceptional faculty, who have demonstrated that they can and will rise
to meet any challenge put to them.

Stay healthy, Maripat Corr Chair Academic Senate, San Diego Division
