Task Force on University Governance Plans Forums by Jeffrey Sykes Asst. News Editor The University Advisory Council Task Force will hold a series of open forums in October to introduce the University Advisory Council (UAC) proposal to the university community. The purpose of the UAC is to serve as a supra-governance body where representatives of all four university constituencies can come together and discuss issues that relate to two or more groups. The four university constituencies are students, faculty, staff, and administrators. The task force has evolved since its creation in the Fall of 1996. Its primary model is the Standards of Good Governance, developed in conjunction with Dr. Edward Penson. Under the Standards, "dialogue and collegiality are emphasized so that each representative group can feel as sured that their voice is respected." In a task force meeting on Friday, September 24, in the Rogers Room of the University Center, a primary concern was how to disseminate the proposal to the campus community. Tim Chaplain, chairman of the staff forum, emphasized the fact that there are 600 staff members on campus, and not all of them share a similar information outlet. The task force plans a series of open forums, and a newsletter to spread the message of the UAC. The newsletter will appear on October 15. The first forum will be held on October 18 for the SGA, October 19 for the Administrative Council, and October 20 for the Faculty Senate. A primary function of the UAC will be to respond to ideas and complaints that come before the committee. continued on page 2 I
