The second meeting I attended this semester was the faculty senate meeting on March 17th. The meeting was pretty surprising, with not much being accomplished besides arguing over semantics. The politics of the meeting were professional, with motions and seconds to pass different suggestions, but the overall decisions that were made and arguments over those decisions seemed juvenile.
The main decsions that were made were regarding wording in faculty documentation describing tenure and promotions. Although those are very important factors to working members of the University, there could have been some items that were more important that could have been addressed. The semantics of a couple of sections regarding those topics took a complete 30-45 minutes to discuss.
