[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>

by Simone Yearwood 11 Dec '20

Good Morning Senators, With regards to the Credit/No Credit policy that was discussed at the senate meeting yesterday, please note that the vote was in support of the attached Student Resolution on the policy. Please be reminded that the Senate did not have any authority to vote on the policy itself, that lies solely in the hands of the Queens College Administration. I would also like to thank everyone in attendance for remaining civil, courteous and respectful (we had over 260 attendees). To our Student Senators, good luck on your finals!!!!! Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season and looking forward to working with you in 2021. Best regards, Simone L. Yearwood - Chair, Academic Senate Prof. Simone L.

[QCsenate 0173] Message regarding the Queens College Strategic Plan
by Simone Yearwood 20 Nov '20

20 Nov '20

Hello Senators, I hope this message finds you all well. Below, please find a message from President Wu regarding the virtual town halls to discuss the College's Strategic Plan. The sessions are open to all QC Students, Faculty and Staff. I ask that you share these meeting dates with your colleagues and fellow students and encourage all to attend. It is imperative to the Plan that we represent the voices of all in the QC Community. The meeting dates are as follows: Faculty, Staff & Students Monday, November 30, 12:30 to 2 pm Student Success and Student Life/Curriculum Tuesday, December 1, 12 to 1:30 pm Student Success and Student Life/Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Friday, December 4, 10 to 11:30 am Curriculum/DEI Monday, December 7, 4 to 5:30 pm Fiscal Sustainability/Faculty Scholarship and Creativity Open Forum for QC Students Only Thursday, December 10, 2:30-4 pm Upcoming QC Townhalls >From President Wu: Emails were sent to faculty, staff, and students inviting them to participate in the five virtual town halls (four for faculty, staff and students; fifth is for students only) to discuss institutional priorities for Queens College's Strategic Plan. It is vitally important that we provide these opportunities as broadly as possible, beyond those of us who are already involved, for the input of members of our college community as we collectively consider the future goals of the College. I would be grateful if you could encourage your colleagues and network of college contacts to participate in this crucial part of the process. The simplest way to access all the information for the town halls and register to attend is to go to the Strategic Plan landing page on the QC website: www.qc.cuny.edu/StrategicPlan<https://gle.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b639f7fe2513161506fe829d9&id=…>.
