OSU Resolution regarding Chancellor Search

The Oregon State University Faculty Senate yesterday afternoon (Thursday November 1 2001) passed the IFS resolution in support of adding faculty (and students) to the search process for new Chancellor. The vote was unanimous. Some slight modification of the text was performed by the OSU Senate Executive Committee - the exact text of the resolution is posted below:

Whereas, The principle of shared governance is as critical to the successful administration of the Oregon University System as it is to the successful administration of the individual campuses;

Whereas, The Oregon State Board of Higher Education has outlined a search process for the next Chancellor that does not include formal faculty andstudent participation; and

Whereas, Such participation is imperative to ensure a selection process and a result that enjoys the full support and confidence of the OUS faculties and other constituencies of the next chancellor; therefore, be it

Resolved, By the Oregon State University Faculty Senate that President VanLuvanee and the Directors of the Oregon State Board of Higher Education should create a new process that specifically includes formal participation on all significant committees by representatives of OUS faculty and students in the evaluation of candidates and the selection of the new chancellor.
