Whereas the faculty of Sonoma State University voted in spring 2012 to amend its constitution to replace the office of Chair-Elect with the office of Vice Chair and to allow the Chair and the Vice Chair to be reelected to a second to a second year in the position; and
Whereas the current holders of those offices, being the first with the ability to do so, decided to seek reelection and were returned to office for the 2013 – 2014 academic year by their colleagues; and
Whereas it has been said that bravery is courage tempered by wisdom,
Now, therefore, be it resolved, that the Academic Senate of Sonoma State University appreciate the courage exhibited by Margie Purser and Richard Senghas in returning as Chair and Vice Chair of the Faculty and thank them for their continuing service.
