[QCsenate 0191] UPDATE: Academic Senate Meeting scheduled for September 9, 2021 - RSVP
by Brenda Salas 30 Aug '21

30 Aug '21

Sent on behalf of Academic Senate Chair, Kevin Ferguson: Dear Senators, Thank you for your patience as we work to safely conduct in-person meetings on campus. Our challenge is to balance the safety of our community with the need to achieve a quorum to conduct business. As you may know, a quorum of 31 senators is required for us to have a legal meeting. Without 31 senators in attendance, we cannot vote any motions, including timely matters such as creating new courses, modifying old ones, or making nominations to search committees. If we believe a quorum is not possible, we do not want to ask Senators to risk their safety or time coming to campus. To that end, we are going to send you an RSVP invitation in advance of each Senate meeting. Please respond to these RSVPs as soon as you can, so that we may gauge how likely we are to be able to have a legal meeting. Thank you for your help on this matter. I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at our meeting on September 9th, where President Wu is scheduled to address us. To RSVP, please go to: https://forms.gle/iseZzpno8q1LWc5u9 Best regards, Brenda -- Brenda Salas Administrative Coordinator | Academic Senate 718 997 5880 | Kiely Hall Room - 141A brenda.salas(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:brenda.salas@qc.cuny.edu>

[QCsenate 0190] UPDATE: Queens College Academic Senate Meetings - Fall 2021
by Brenda Salas 26 Aug '21

26 Aug '21

Sent on behalf of Academic Senate Chair, Kevin Ferguson: Dear Senators, We are writing to give you an update regarding ventilation in Kiely Hall Room 170. We've been informed that Kiely Hall is ready for use , and building was also checked and cleared for use by the university's facilities consultant. Currently, the main system for cooling is undergoing repairs, so while the ventilation is fine, only fresh air is circulated. This should not be an issue for the fall and with summer ending soon. We will keep you informed of any changes. Best regards, Brenda -- Brenda Salas Administrative Coordinator | Academic Senate 718 997 5880 | Kiely Hall Room - 141A brenda.salas(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:brenda.salas@qc.cuny.edu>

Sent on behalf of Academic Senate Chair, Kevin Ferguson: Dear Senators, We hope this message finds you well and that you had a great summer. We write to inform you that due to New York State's Open Meetings Law, all Senate meetings must be held in person for the Fall 2021 semester. Please see https://www.qc.cuny.edu/community/Coronavirus/Pages/Campus-Access.aspx for information about accessing campus. If you cannot attend a Senate meeting, please contact your Alternate. While we recognize the risk for some of attending in person, it is essential all Senators attend so that we may have a quorum and conduct our business. We will keep you informed of any updates. Please note that the first meeting of the fall semester is on September 9, 2021 at 3:35 p.m. in Kiely Hall room 170. Thank you.

[QCsenate 0181] Ad Hoc Working Group on Recognition
by Brenda Salas 11 Feb '21

11 Feb '21

Dear Senators, Please find Ad Hoc Committee request below. Please consider nominating or self-nominating by sending an email to Simone.Yearwood(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:Simone.Yearwood@qc.cuny.edu> or Brenda.salas(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:Brenda.salas@qc.cuny.edu>. We will be accepting nominations through Monday, February 22, 2021. __ Consistent with our values of diversity, equity, and inclusion, I write to appoint an Ad Hoc Working Group on Recognition. Its charge is to consider the names of Queens College buildings and programs to make recommendations regarding any possible changes, as well as to offer proposed guidelines for honoring a diverse range of persons associated with Queens College who played a significant role in the history of Queens College, in society more generally, or ideally both. A report is requested by the conclusion of this academic year. The working group will have thirteen members selected as follows. The Senate is requested to send at least seven nominees from whom three will be selected (including at least one student); the Student Association should send at least five nominees from whom two will be selected (including at least one graduate student); the P&B should send at least three nominees from which one will be selected; and the QC Foundation should send three nominees; the remaining members will be selected from the President's Council or will be presidential designees. The incoming Chief Diversity Officer will serve ex officio. I will name one co-chair, and another will be elected from the faculty members on the working group (all members of the working group to have one vote). The Working Group should hold at least one town hall open to all, including community members. Working group members should represent a diverse range of opinions and be open to collegial discussion. They will be provided a full list of all buildings, rooms, and spaces with names, as well as major programs officially recognized by name. Once the group is assembled, they will be invited to a preliminary meeting to discuss the work. Any recommendations that are made should be consistent with CUNY policies on naming. Any proposed guidelines for honoring a diverse range of persons should be general, without specific requests as to individuals. The report will be considered in decision making to follow. Further discussion through shared governance may be appropriate, depending on the contents of the report. Best regards, Brenda -- Brenda Salas Administrative Coordinator | Academic Senate 718 997 5880 | Kiely Hall Room - 141A brenda.salas(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:brenda.salas@qc.cuny.edu>
