all right okay we'll close the vote all right we do have a quorum thank you very much all right uh the next item is approval of the agenda is there any discussion on the agenda we'll launch that vote as well vote is open and this vote is for all senators everyone had the opportunity to vote right uh the agenda is approved and it's 59 yes and zero no all right we're now on to the minutes any discussion of the minutes all of the minutes the vote is open one had the opportunity to vote is uh 56 to zero for approving the minutes all right hey um now uh president asanas is not with us today so we do not have presidential remarks however we do have a few remarks by provost carlson so if provost carlson would like to um come to the to the podium and i will hand it over to everybody welcome back from break There's a lot happening, so sometimes it's best to, like, focus on the mundane, so that's what I'm going to do. There is a lot happening on the EOs. This is not really the right format to have those conversations around executive orders and so on, but I have been partnering with Jose and Miguel, working and meeting with different groups who want to meet with me. We've been doing different colleges, meeting with leadership teams, chairs, really anxious to have some conversations with faculty as they wish. So if you know within your faculty department, so the faculty who would love to just have us come by, I think this is one of the most important things that I can be doing in the next month or two. I'll speak on behalf of Miguel and Jose as well. We're happy to come visit even for half an hour. We don't have a lot of answers, but I'm happy to have the conversation around kind of what we're doing, how we're seeing things, and engage in listening, really, to kind of what you're worried about in answering questions. So that is an absolutely open invitation. Please talk to your faculty if you're interested. Just come to a department faculty meeting or any clusters of departments you want to get together, whatever. I will absolutely prioritize that. Okay, the rest of it is just sort of what's coming up, that maybe kind of pull ourselves up and have some things to look forward to. One thing is one idea, one slide, that summit. Really excited about that and about how engaged the community has been and those ideas is a way to really kind of foster the ideas that you all have and put some resources behind them. that is um on may 16th it'll be in pearson hall auditorium we'll have an ice cream break in the middle of it and kind of the roundhouse um and then a reception afterwards concept ideas are due may 5th really a low bar to entry uh it's like a three questions or something like that so uh reach out to me if you have a question about that and hope that uh you are interested in either pitching an idea or just calling and listening to the ideas because there will be we continue to also make available a way for you to join an idea if there's one that you hear about. I think that is so, so important. We know that oftentimes people have a good idea and they pick the collaborators they know and they form a great team, but there might be 10 other people on campus who have an expertise that they just haven't met yet who have relevance and some of them contribute to that idea. So it's a way to sort of build up teams and make the ideas look into everybody. So even if you don't have an idea to pitch, come and listen because you might hear about something that you're interested in doing. Third thing, commencement, is May 24th, 930. You may have seen the UDaily article announcing the commencement speaker, Matt O'Donnell. He's an ABC 57 news anchor. He is an alum from UD in 1994. He served on the CAS advisory committee for many years, English journalism, of political science in all of those areas of COVID here. And then the last, I guess the last point I'll make is around the academic year calendar. When I started, I really wanted to be able to have a three-year look on the calendar, have it out there for planning purposes for all of news. So Carolyn is here. Carolyn Quincy has done a tremendous job trying to build out that calendar for 2027-28. The other ones are already up. Features up 27-28. It feels like it'll be a normal year. 69 days of instruction for the fall. There'll be breaks for Labor Day or Recoup Day, Thanksgiving break, final exams, and Monday the 13th. winter session. We'll have 24 days of instruction, so no Saturdays or January 2nd as we had to do in the prior. It runs January 3rd, Monday to Friday the 4th, break on MLK Day, final exams February 5th, and then spring and summer. So I really like the process we have. Carolyn works with a group from this body as well as people from Student Life and so on to all put their heads together about when the right move-in days are and so on. So that will get posted as well. That's all I have. I know we have a really big agenda with a lot of regular programs, so I'm happy to take any questions. Any questions for Provost person all righty okay thank you everybody hey we are going to go right into our agenda items we're going to start with the consent agenda does anybody have any comments or items they'd like to discuss off the consent agenda. I'll go ahead and launch the vote, and the vote is open. And I have a chair. Okay. Does everyone have the opportunity to vote? The agenda has passed 62 to 0. All right, I'm going to go backwards just a bit, and we're going to do some announcements from myself and the executive committee all right we do have some committee business to advertise here extended the deadline for people to sign up for senate committees to april 10 so you have until april 10 to either nominate yourself or somebody that you know would be willing to serve i put links in the presentation if you go into the faculty senate folder not only able to find the agenda, but you also find my slides. So you can link to the form that you would need to fill out and send to our office manager, Karen Holden. There's also additional committee information on our website. If you're interested in thinking about joining a committee, but you don't really know exactly what it does, then you can go to our website. Obviously, some committees are way more labor intensive than others. For example, graduate studies is a pretty labor intensive committee, but it also brings a lot of its own rewards. So also our greatest need besides grad studies, Icarus, the library committee, and the gen ed committee. So all of those we encourage you to consider doing or nominating a willing volunteer. And again, we've extended the deadline to April 10, and we thank COCAN under the chairmanship of Chris Williams for all their efforts on this. We are also standing up a new ad hoc committee. The AI Working Group is finishing its work, so the Senate is standing up an ad hoc committee on AI. I've just given you a clip of the charge there, exploring and guiding how the university integrates AI into its curriculum, research, administrative processes, and community engagement. So this is obviously going to be a very important committee. It's going to be increasingly relevant. We all know there are enormous challenges and benefits, possibly with AI. So this is something that the Senate definitely wants to weigh in on. Remember, though, you don't have to be a senator to sit on a committee. So if you're thinking about other people in your units who would be great on these committees, don't hesitate to reach out to them because they're not a senator, right? We want, you know, full-time faculty. Okay, if you are interested in joining this committee, just email Karen Holden, and I've given you a link there, and tell her that you're interested in joining. There's no particular form to fill out. So again, if you're interested in serving on an ad hoc basis and you're interested in All Matters AI, that might be the committee for you, right? By the way, if anybody has questions as I go through these various announcements, please just raise your hand and I'll stop. Okay, this is an announcement directed at senators. So if you recall last semester, we sort of brokered a deal with the board, and what we said was, okay, we have two reps at all the board committee meetings before they go into closed session twice a year we're trying to boost the interaction between the faculty and the board and so what we came up with is that in advance of the committee meetings the board committees would share their agendas we would put them in a google folder for senators to look at and then if you all have questions that are inspired by the agendas, you can send them to me or to one of the Senate reps that is going to be attending these meetings. And I have a link to the schedule there as well. You also, and we ask that senators don't share these Senate agenda items, but obviously the general topics you can share with your colleagues and see if they have any questions that might be relevant and then what will happen is we'll share them with the senate reps and then senate reps will either share them with the committees if they have the opportunity to do so or we might for example decide well this is a question that we would be better asking the provost or the president or another administrator but we will do our best to get your question answered the way these committees are structured and we just came out of the public affairs committee is that there are a lot of reporting and then you can ask questions related to that reporting and then there's often a little bit of time at the end to ask some questions but it's a possibility that we can't get to all the questions and if we don't um we'll try to get them answered in a different way for you we will not tell you or tell anyone who asked the question so that is sort of the beauty of having senate reps at these committees. It's not like, you know, we're going to say professor so-and-so wants to know. We don't do that. If you find the agendas a little bit too vague to determine what questions to ask, I've given you a link to the draft minutes from the last board of trustees semiannual meeting, and it does include a lot of committee reports. So if you look there, you'll know what the topics of the day are, and you can pretty much guess what a lot of the discussion is going to be in these various committee meetings. So I encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity. I've also indicated to you in the newsletter, if you want a particularly secure channel, you're welcome to email me at my personal email address. It's just vickyfidelity at gmail.com. And I will make sure that we address your questions in some capacity. Any questions about that oh all righty so i had a rough evening and morning y'all pick up on that my email went nuts on me they're gremlins i'm convinced that are living in my computer sending things i didn't mean to send um and then uh my save the date was a little premature when it comes to this open hearing on ED's financial health and performance. So we'll sort of reset with that. So what's happening? On the 16th of April, not February, at 3.30 on Zoom, the Senate Budget Committee is going to be presenting their findings. They have spent the whole academic year interviewing various constituencies and doing their own research. They're going to draw a little bit on Rudy Fichtenbaum's report, which she came and gave a presentation on in March through the AMUPUD, but there's a lot of new stuff. So I was getting questions like, well, if I saw Rudy's presentation, should I go to this one? The answer is definitely yes, right? And so again, we thank the Senate Budget Committee for their willingness to do this presentation. You will be getting a more formal invitation, you might get it twice, you might get it three times, you might get it in the middle of the night, not entirely sure, can't make promises, but you will get one. All right, and that will be for all faculty, not just senators. Any questions about that? I just want to add that, I don't think that's here, any invitation, we're going to solicit questions so that we can... He's here. Oh, sorry. We're going to solicit some questions, right? Oprah, to guide her. And it's going to be a tour. Right. I mean, as you all know, open hearings are the chance not just to be presented to, but also to ask questions. So there will be a fairly sizable component of the open hearing that consists of questions. And again, we'll anonymize the questions. We won't say it's professor so-and -so from department so -and-so. So So this gives you a really nice opportunity to get your questions answered in a safe way. Okay, not that it wouldn't be safe if you put your name on them, but some of us are like, eh, maybe we'll anonymize. Okay, let's see here. Oh, then I want to talk just a second about the discussion we had about the resolution that was on the floor last meeting, in which we were talking about sort of putting this moratorium on building. So what we did, we voted, I think, 54 to 2 to do, is we said we're going to send this back to the two committees that sponsored it, which were budget and exec. So Matt Robinson, who is chair of budget, and I got together. We had some preliminary conversations. We've shared a few ideas with Provost Carlson and Martha Buell, who are going to assist us in this effort about how we can revise that proposal or that resolution in such a way that it won't threaten any sort of long-term obligations that the university has to have up-to -date facilities, et cetera. We hope to have a revised resolution back on the floor at our last and final Senate meeting in May, right? So that's where we are with that. so I wanted to give you an update on that as well all right here okay I think we should now be back to our agenda I know we took a little break for a second but just bear with me so I can check for sure yep okay so we're going on to the regular agenda The regular agenda, as you know, was lengthy. So I have combined certain votes. We've combined on the regular agenda certain votes of like items. All right. So I think we'll end up only having like 30 votes versus what could have been 50 or 60 votes. So as fun as it is to sit up here and launch votes and close votes, I, along with you, probably appreciate the streamlining of this process. So there are some, there are certain resolutions that I will provide a little bit of explanation on as we go. But otherwise, I'm going to rely on you all to indicate if you want to have discussion about the various items that come up. So standard practice there. So I believe we start with 172. Let me go ahead and re -share on our agenda item for today of 214. All right. All right. So a little shorthand, instead of saying provisionally for five years and writing it out a hundred times, I've coined a new acronym. It's the P5Y, and that means provisionally for five years. All right, so that occurs in our very first regular agenda item. That's here, number 172, and it is the Associate of Arts in Community and Nonprofit Leadership. is there any discussion on this particular proposal it would be a new pathway we'll launch the vote vote is open everyone had the opportunity to vote a unanimous passage 63 to zero all right congrats to the biden school on their new pathway all right okay our next item is number 173 to approve provisionally for five years the honors ba in civic leadership and public and policy studies is there any discussion about number 173 and if you want me to pull up the agenda item let me know and i can exit out of this window and show you the agenda with the resolution any discussion on number 173. Watch the vote. The vote is now open. Can I hit my minus sign? Yes, I can. How's that? No, you didn't. I hit my minus sign. Up there by your picture? I think so. It usually collapses that Oh. Well, let's try again. We'll reshare. Seeing it now on my end. Yeah. See your cursor on there? It's not moving? No. I think I'm going to have to deny you this. Denny, let me see. um I maybe let's try this it won't reposition itself either I've moved it all the way over to the left it's not showing up on my screen so I don't quite know what to do with it so I apologize I'll read out the yeses though okay um so 173 are we all done voting with 173 so 63 to 0 right lots of dissenting voices in the room all right uh 174 approve provisionally for five years the honors bs in cyber security engineering a program that I would immediately fail out of for reasons of both security and engineering any discussion launch the vote all right everyone had the opportunity to vote okay it passed uh 60 to 1 right the cyber security engineering proposal that was a mistake by the way that one must have hit some things my first time we will we will excuse you sir and if you want we can modify the record i think we can do that i was almost happy to see a one i'm like oh there's some conflict i'm an english person i like conflict right we need that in our story otherwise our plot doesn't go anywhere all right the next one is number 175 and 175 i think i sound like an auctioneer 175 175 175. Do I hear 175? To approve provisionally for five years a Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence. Any discussion? Launch the vote. Do you need to vote? All right. We'll close the vote, it passes 61 to 0 without any dissenting. Okay, now we're at 176. Okay, so this is to approve a 4 plus 1 with a BS in Applied Molecular Biology and Biotech and an MS in Bioinformatics Data Science. Yes, sir. Hi, this is Joe Fieser from the Department of Cataculture. I would just like to briefly complain about all of our 4 plus 1 programs for one moment. Oh please. It's a blast all of them. It's not to pick on this particular program. Recently I've been in the position of having to advise students who are in the graduate portion of their 4 plus 1 and it's become very apparent that we have very, very poor advising teams available to cross over between undergrad and graduate degrees. So a person who's in their plus one year, advisors cannot see what they did during their bachelor's degree, which makes it impossible for us to advise them whether they are on track to graduate. Now in the wake of Mary Martin leaving, the registrar and the graduate college have been very strictly enforcing transfer policies in a way that I don't think they previously have been and uh i have spent the better part of the last two weeks trying to fight some of the decisions that have come out of that on the basis of like no information and i would just like to complain about that this is something we need to look at all right i don't believe dean rossi is with us today is he he's on okay carolyn quincy is carolyn here today hi carolyn did you want to respond to anything? Well, the registrar's office is bound to enforce a policy that exists in the catalog and as is supported by the dean of the graduate college. So we certainly have been following up with those when there's a question about, well, let me back up. I don't disagree, but there's a disconnect between advising with undergraduate and graduate. I think that's something that needs to be improved and there needs to be better communication when students are in the bachelor's degree moving on to the master's degree about what coursework is being used what the policies are but the policies about transfer credits minimum grades what can transfer what can't those are all published and have been for a really long time so we are working with the graduate college where we see that there's a disconnect misinformation misadvising we are certainly advocating for grandfathering certain things, but we are also bound by the grad college. The grad college makes the decision ultimately, but we enforce the policy. Does that help? Yeah, I'm not complaining about the fact that we are enforcing the policies so much as we're enforcing them without giving advisors the ability to actually help students figure out whether they are in line with those policies. The students think they're in line. We don't know whether they're in line because actually we can't see how they use their force to miss up learning their undergrad degree this is a problem. That was awesome. Yeah it was not here but I'm taking notes I just thank you for bringing this up and we will sit down. Thank you also on behalf of the graduate college there's a great deal of work being done currently to optimize and harmonize the system so that we move forward we will have an approach that is rational unified so that all students know where they stand at all times. It isn't peace -dependent. It will be policy-dependent, which will be empowering to everyone. Okay, and that was from Professor Claude Felter. Any other comments about the issue? You now have a microphone circulating. I did attempt to get a second microphone. It did not go well. Apparently adding a second microphone is akin to Sisyphus and the Rock. So we'll have to share. Anyone else on the issue of advisement in four plus ones? Also, this is something that you may want to raise with the coordinating committee. And so John Jebb chairs the coordinating committee. So this is something that we may want to chat further about within the city committee system, right? Not to put you on the spot. Chair Jeff. Okay. Any other discussion then about this, about four plus ones in general or this particular four plus one? All right. We'll go ahead and launch the vote. And the vote is open. Everyone had the opportunity to vote. Passes 62 to 1. Okay. We have our first combo vote here. So I've put together resolutions 177 and 178. These are two four plus ones. One is for the BA in Biological Sciences and the MS in Bioinformatics Data Science, and the other is the BS in Biological Sciences and the MS in Bioinformatics Data Science. So we're voting for two four plus ones together unless I hear objection. Any discussion on these four plus ones? Nope. I'll launch the vote. Vote is open. Does everyone have the opportunity to vote? And it passes, or they pass 62 to zero. All right. Number 179. This is the 4 plus 1, a bachelor's of biomedical engineering and an MS in bioinformatics data science. Is there any discussion on resolution 179? We'll open the vote. Has everyone had the opportunity to vote? This is 58 to 1. okay now we're at resolution number 180 where we are approving a four or potentially approving a four plus one um bachelor's in biomedical engineering and ms in quantitative systems pharmacology right um is there any discussion about that proposal there's the vote and the vote is open. Has everyone had the opportunity to vote? Passes 62 to 0. All right, number 181. This is to approve provisionally for five years the BS in interdisciplinary studies in medical and molecular science. Any discussion on number 181? Push the vote. Has everyone had the opportunity to vote. It passes 62 to 0. All right, moving down to 182. This is to approve a 3 plus 2 with a BS in cognitive science and an MA in speech language pathology. Does anyone have any discussion items for item 182? Does everyone have the opportunity to vote? 62 to 0. Okay. We're now going to move to item 183. Okay. Senator Fajardo. Thank you. Senator Fajardo, Chair of the Rules Committee and Secretary. Would you mind pulling up the wording of this resolution? I sure can. In one quick moment. just give me a moment to scroll down somebody pointed out that the agenda was 56 pages long all right we're doing some business all right here we go all right so the resolve clause reads effective immediately the doctorate of philosophy and communication sciences and disorders be granted permanent status, and I need to share that, apparently. All right, so we're talking about that line right there is the resolved clause. Yes, my question or comment is regarding effective immediately. I'd like to propose a friendly amendment that we discard this effective immediately. All right. Thank you very much, Senator Fajardo. So, yes, it's typically Senate practice that we don't make things effective immediately unless there is an exceptional reason for doing so. I reached out to the originator of this particular proposal and the originator indicated that there would be no negatives with removing the language effective immediately. So, Senator Fajardo has proposed a friendly amendment. The Graduate Studies folks committee, they're the ones who are sponsoring this. I'm going to turn to Susan Conaty-Buck, our representative from Grad Studies. Do you accept this amendment? Yes, we do. All right. Thank you very much. Do I just change the language and launch the vote now? Yes. Okay. As long as there's no objection. Yes, we've had, does anyone else have any objections? Alright, let me amend this language right quick and then we will vote on it. Okay. Permanent status, yes, okay. Well, language is not there, so even wonderful. Permanent status, yes. We have removed already the effective immediate language. Okay. All right. We'll launch. Does anybody have any further discussion on permanent status for this PhD? Nope. Does everyone have the opportunity to vote? Passes 56 to 0 as amended, with effective immediately removed from the resolution. Okay, number 184, to approve a name change from the Ph.D. in Medical Sciences to the Ph.D. in Molecular Biosciences, is there any discussion of item number 184 on this name change? I know it's not nearly as exciting as theater with an ER or an RE, for those of you who have been in Senate for a while, but nevertheless. Okay, we'll launch the vote. And the vote is open. Everyone had the opportunity to vote. Class is 62 to 0. We're working on a common theme here. okay um number 185 number 185 this is to approve the epidemiology program becoming the department of epidemiology is there any discussion on this resolution bearing none we'll launch the vote does everyone have the chance to vote we are 61 to 0 so number 185 passes All right, this is for number 186, to approve provisionally for five years the new pathway, the Associate in Science and Business Administration. Is there any discussion of this new pathway? Launch the vote. The vote is open. Does everyone have the opportunity to vote? Passes 62 to 0. Congrats to the learner school on their new pathway. All right, we are moving down to item 187 is to approve permanent status effective immediately for the BS in business analytics. Senator Fajardo. Thank you. So Senator Fajardo from the Rules committee, chair of the board. I have the same concern about this effect of immediately. I'd like to request a friendly amendment that we remove. Okay, so there is a friendly amendment that the BS and business analytics not be made effective immediately. My understanding is the effective immediately was an error. It was placed here in error and will not negatively affect that unit. We We have a representative here from the Undergraduate Studies Committee, Chris Williams. Do you accept the friendly amendment? UGS does. All right. Thank you. Any discussion about amending it as such, be effective immediately, and we will vote. And the vote is open as amended. Everyone vote. It passes 61-0. Okay, number 188, to approve provisionally for five years the BS in computer science and business. Is there any discussion on number 188? Hearing none, vote is open. Does everyone have the chance to vote? And it passes 61-0. All right, numbers 189 and 190. I made these a combo vote because basically we're disestablishing the global enterprise management program, both the BS and the honors BS. Does anybody object to voting to those in tandem? Right? Is there any discussion about the particular proposals to disestablish the global enterprise management? Does everybody have a chance to vote? Passes 61 to 0. All right, moving on to item 191. To approve provisionally for five years the MS in Applied Artificial Intelligence for Business. Is there any discussion of item number 191? We will launch the vote. And the vote is open. Everyone had the chance to vote. This passes 57 to 2, 57 to 2. All right, 192 to 194, this is going to be another tandem vote. Well, more than tandem, a triple vote of three, four plus ones, right? These are BS's in actuarial science, cybersecurity engineering, and applied math. and then the plus one is the MBA, all right, so three of those together. I wanted to point out that this is another version of effective immediately, and I'll give you a little bit of explanation as to why. I said earlier we only made things effective immediately when there were exceptional circumstances. There are exceptional circumstances, and the folks from LERNER can correct me if I get these circumstances wrong, all right? These four plus ones, these three and a few more that we've lumped together down the agenda, went through Senate in 2023-24, and they went through Senate as part of a larger package, right? And they were approved. And so then there was the discovery that these needed to go through each four plus one as its own proposal. And so that is what the learner program has done. They have indicated in a separate proposal all of the merits of these four plus ones. And so, and they have students who are pursuing these four plus ones right now. So in this particular case, you know, the effective effective spring 2025 date may have its merits, right? All that having been said, is there any discussion about 192 through 194, these three four plus ones? Again, that would be effective immediately. Did I get all that right? Question, we'll launch the vote. Everyone had the chance to vote is six or they pass 61 to zero all right number 195 is to approve the artificial intelligence concentration in the MBA right is there any conversation about item number 195 and we'll launch the vote and the vote is open. Does everyone have the chance to vote? That's 60 to 1, 60 to 1. All right, number 196, to approve the Graduate International Business Certificate, is there any discussion about item 196? Does everyone have the chance to vote? It's 58 to 0. All right, item 20, or excuse me, Okay, items number 197 to 203, and then 205 to 206, we're going to look at together unless there's an objection. These are four plus ones ten of them right with the MBA and the B.A.B.S. in computer science the bio the BMSE degree the bio is that the biomedical engineering degree? What's BMS-e? Pardon me? Okay, there you go. The BS in math and data science, the BS in math and economics, the BA and BS in math, the BS in GIS science and environmental data analytics, and the BS in information systems. So there are these 10 four plus ones. They are listed as effective in spring 2025 for the reasons that I just mentioned. They already went through the Senate last year in sort of an omnibus bill, right? Is there any discussion on these 10 for plus ones? So we're going to get 10 for one. Senator Graham. I just wanted your information. So these were approved as programs at, what is the effect of spring 25? Okay, so typically things are effective in the fall, unless we deem otherwise. This effective date was attached to these four plus ones, because the four plus ones already went through the Senate in an omnibus package. Right. Any other questions, comments, discussions about these four plus ones? The vote. And the vote is open and have the opportunity to vote. Ten four plus ones have 62 to zero with an effective date of now. OK, number 204, we're going backwards a little bit. This one I did not include in the previous list because this is a program that did not go through the Senate as part of that omnibus proposal last year. So, discussion about item 204, Senator Fajardo. Thank you, Senator Fajardo, Chair of the House. um because these did not go through senate previously i'd like to propose a friendly amendment that we remove the beginning of spring that we remove spring 2025 all right um okay so there's been a friendly amendment um for the grad studies committee do you accept the amendment to remove effective spring 2025 rep of grad studies senator connie buck yes graduate studies all right thank you any objection to the friendly amendment nope all right so we will remove that effective date and any further discussion in general on this resolution vote is open does everyone had the chance to vote? Passes 57 to 0. 57 to 0 on item 204. We only have six votes left and it's only five o'clock. Can you tell someone wants to go to dinner? Okay, number 207, to approve the graduate certificate in technology product management. Is there any discussion on item 207? is open. Does everyone have the chance to vote? Passes 58 to 0. All right, item 208, to approve the name change, um, associate in arts, uh, in K-8 teacher education to elementary and middle school teacher education, right? So we've had a name change. It's a little bigger in there for you to see. Any discussion of this particular item? And the vote is open. Anyone have the chance to vote? Passes 59 to 0. All right. Item 209 to 10. This is also a name change. It's a combo vote because it involves the BS and the honors BS, changing the name from K-8 teacher ed to elementary and middle school teacher ed. Is there any discussion of this particular tandem of items? Does everyone have the chance to vote? 55 to 1, and that's items 209 and 210. All right, number 211. Also, this is a name change from the NED in Exceptional Children and Youth to Teaching Students with Disabilities. Is there any discussion about this proposed nation? Hearing none, the vote is open. The opportunity to vote. The vote passes 60 to 0. Two more. All right. Number 212 and 213, another combo vote. to approve the disestablishment of the separate secondary concentration of the 4 plus 1 and the degree-only track in the MED. Now, that's a mouthful, so I've projected the whole line there for you. Is there any discussion on this tandem of items? Everyone have the chance to vote. The vote passes 60 to 1. that's 60 to 1 for items 212 and 213. And for our final item on the regular curricular agenda, to approve the grad certificate in teaching students with disabilities. Is there any discussion on this grad certificate? The vote is open. Does everyone have the chance to vote? And item 214 passes 60 to zero. That is 60 to zero. All right. And that is the end of the curricular agenda. So, yay us. All right. Then it's 5.07. Okay. Is there any new business that anyone would like to introduce? Senator Galileo. Yeah. I'm Danny Galileo, past president. I I would just like to remind people because I got this card from HR on Friday. And remember this year, we can't just let our election of the previous year's health insurance rollover. You have to actively pick the same thing if you want the same thing or pick something different. If you want something different, it's the same carrier, same plans. so if you're if you want to if you would normally just let it roll over just pick the same things but again it has to be active so i thought i would bring this up again because the open enrollment is when is it may 1 through something may 1 through 16 so that was it just to remind people thank you senator galilea so if you're like me and you just let things roll and you don't actively select That won't work this year. So apparently if you want health insurance, you have to actively elect your options. So share that with your units, please. Did I get that right, Denny? Yeah, okay. Yeah, Senator Connery Buck. I would like to make sure that they have plan books available to us or the whole or for all of the they're not new theoretically but they are new to us and so wanted to know who would be the best place for us to get the plan books so we can see the whole plan laid out I imagine HR so we just call HR and they'll give Yeah, I'm actually going to be in a benefits and cost containment committee meeting. Now we're going to move on to one of the other charges of that committee stipulated in the CBA was to look at dependent care like child care and elder care. We can come up with some possibilities for that. I will ask during that meeting. Thank you very much, Senator. And we will report that back out once we have the answer to that. Thank you very much. Other new business. going once going twice all right is there a motion to adjourn yeah senator brown second i heard senator kauffman all right okay we are adjourned thank you very much
