Minutes of Academic Senate meetings are available in the Library Archives* (see below).
All the Senate and Executive Committee agendas and minutes beginning in 2000 are now available in the University's Institutional Repository. Finding specific items from the agendas or minutes is relatively easy.
*During the transition to a new support team in Fall 2022, the process of updating these records was interrupted. The Library has indicated that the Academic Senate should wait to resume utilizing university digital archives while an update in systems is currently underway. In order to provide a temporary solution, the faculty governance open meeting agendas and minutes for the Academic Senate Meeting and Executive Committee are housed in the linked public repository. Should any other resource be needed from a previous academic year, prior to 22/23 (post-Fall 2000) should be locatable on the Library Archives and/or locatable by the Academic Senate Analyst (until the new Library archive resources is updated.
