MEMBERS OF THE ACADEMIC SENATE, SAN DIEGO DIVISION

Dear Colleagues:

A special Representative Assembly meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, April 29 from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m., in the Garren Auditorium of the Biomedical Sciences Building (1st floor).

All Senate members are welcome to attend. If you are a Senate member who is not an Assembly Representative and you plan to attend the meeting, please RSVP to the Academic Senate Office at academicsenateoffice@ucsd.edu. We ask meeting participants to arrive by 3:45 so we may begin promptly at 4:00.

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

The Academic Senate received a request on April 1 from our Senate faculty colleagues to hold a special Representative Assembly meeting to consider an Academic Senate response and actions to: 1. Help Safeguard Our Students and Faculty; and 2. Stand Up for Free Speech and Academic Freedom. Two resolutions related to the first topic were passed at a special Assembly meeting on April 15. A proposed Resolution to Defend UC San Diego’s Commitment to Free Speech and Academic Freedom will be considered at this special 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. Your participation matters. I look forward to seeing you on April 29.

Sincerely,

Olivia A. Graeve
Chair
Academic Senate, San Diego Division
