At Tuesday's executive committee meeting, Sticklen informed the committee that there weren't enough nominees to fill the largest task force, which will be looking at restructuring the Academic Governance system.

These task forces are a result of last year's Faculty Voice report, compiled by faculty members who made recommendations that would give them more of a presence in administrative decisions. Other task forces will be looking at the process for reviewing administrators and academic programs, general communication procedures in Academic Governance and the role of fixed-term faculty. Judith Andre, philosophy professor and member of the Center for Ethics and Humanities in the Life Sciences, said she was hesitant to postpone all work with the Academic Governance reorganization task force.
