The CALS Faculty Council provides a forum within the shared governance structure to identify and discuss issues of concern to the Faculty, with due consultation with the Faculty and Dean. Furthermore, the council shall provide advice or recommendations to the Faculty and the Dean on proposed actions. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Our next meeting will be at the end of October and I wanted to send an open invitation to all faculty to send me issues or concerns that they would like the council to discuss. Please do your best to explain the issue and perhaps even recommend solutions or at the least, the impact this issue is having. Don’t send me “We need higher salaries!” – explain what higher salaries will do for the College and the consequence of not addressing the issue. Also, if there is something that is working especially well for your department or office, I would like to hear that too. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I thank you all in advance for participating in this endeavor.
