Dear Colleagues:
The second meeting of the 2023-24 academic year is scheduled for Tuesday, November 28 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 the Academic Senate Office at academicsenateoffice@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.
- On the Senate’s homepage under Assembly/Council Meetings, on the lower right side of the page. http://senate.ucsd.edu
- On the Representative Assembly-Schedule page.
http://senate.ucsd.edu/committees/representative-assembly/schedule
Although the meeting will start at 3:30, we ask 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. To access the meeting, please login to Zoom using your official UCSD email address (ucsd.edu), not your alias email account (e.g., health.ucsd.edu). The meeting materials include this and other important Zoom information for this meeting.
Chancellor Khosla and EVC Simmons will address the Assembly, Dean of Extended Studies Hugo Villar will provide an update to Assembly about the Division of Extended Studies, the 2023-24 nominations for the Donald F. Tuzin Distinguished Service Award will be presented as a consent item, and the Educational Policy Committee will provide an update on the Policy on Distance Education Courses. In addition, the following proposals will be presented:
- Proposal to establish a new regulation, SD Regulation 723, Requirements for the Master of Data Science (online) Degree
- Proposal to establish a PhD in Public Health with a concentration in Health Services Research and Implementation Science (HSRIS)
- Proposal to establish a new bylaw, Appendix 5.14, Bylaws of the Faculty of Eighth College
- Proposal to establish a new regulation, SD Regulation 640, Academic Requirements of Eighth College
As large Zoom meetings do not lend themselves to free-flowing discussion, I ask that you please review the meeting materials in advance of the meeting and send questions to academicsenateoffice@ucsd.edu with the agenda topic number in the subject line of the email, by noon on Monday, November 27. Your questions will be shared with the presenters so that they may be prepared to discuss them in advance.
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.
Sincerely,
