Subject: CALS Faculty Council
Dear CEDs,

As a Faculty Senator, I have to honor of also serving on the CALS Faculty Council.  The Council met for the first time for FY18.  Below is a summary:


Gayatri Vedantam (School of ACBS) assumed the role of Council Chair, after serving as Vice Chair last year.  The committee then nominated and approved Marc Joel Orbach (School of Plant Sciences) as the new Vice Chair.

There was some discussion on assuring we have representation from all departments as well as a county Extension representative.  I let them know we had sent out ballots and an official County Extension representative would be identified soon.

There will be a town hall meeting on September 22nd with the entire CALS Executive Council (EC).  The meeting is sponsored by the Faculty Council.  Information on the Town Hall was is last week's CALS Bulletin (see below).  We have been asked to solicit questions for the town hall.  Attached is the form they would like used.  Please send your questions to me by September 18th and I will forward them on.  You can also forward your question to Dr. Gayatri Vedantam (gayatri at email.arizona.edu<mailto:gayatri at email.arizona.edu>), chair of the faculty council.  All submissions will be kept confidential.

Please share as you see fit.

Thanks,

Ed
