Dear Colleagues:
The third Representative Assembly meeting of the 2023-24 academic year is scheduled for Tuesday, February 27 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.

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.
Chancellor Khosla and EVC Simmons will address the Assembly, Chief of Police Lamine Secka will provide an update from UC San Diego Police, and Executive Director of Triton Auxiliary Programs & Services Josh Kavanagh will provide an update on the Early Childhood Education Center. In addition, the following proposals will be presented:

- Proposal to transfer the Astronomy Graduate Program from the Department of Physics to the Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics
- Proposal to amend San Diego Divisional Bylaw 225, Library
- Proposal to amend San Diego Divisional Regulation 620, Academic Requirements of Warren 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, February 26. 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,
