Resolution AFS-2526-02: Resolution to Establish a Framework for Expanded Senate Representationđź”’
Date Submitted: March 2, 2026
Status: Approved by Senate, Pending Notification to Interim President Bulmer
This resolution directs an ad‑hoc committee charged with developing a clear constitutional framework to guide potential future expansion of the Administrative Faculty Senate to include additional employee groups beyond SUOAF and Management/Confidential staff. Its purpose is to ensure that any expansion is thoughtful, sustainable, and based on defined principles—such as meaningful representation, operational effectiveness, and mutual consent—before outreach to other groups occurs.
