  2. RP&A Conflict of Interest Committee There is presently a vacancy on the Conflict of Interest Committee as a result of Dr. Don Myers passing away. RP&A is nominating Professor Wayne Huebner for the vacant position. Members of the Faculty Senate may nominate others for this position.

  3. RP&A • RP&A Referral to Budgetary Affairs It has been reported that President Forsee has considered the possibility of UM-System campuses offering a 2% raise for faculty and staff for the next year. In light of this, RP&A passed a resolution that refers to the Budgetary Affairs Committee the task of studying potential impacts of a 2% salary raise for S&T employees for the upcoming year.

  4. RP&A Referral to Academic Freedom and Standards Committee (AFSC) Common Exams It was brought to the attention of RP&A that common exams administered during the semester could create conflicts with regularly-scheduled evening classes. The potential conflicts may not be detected when students register for the evening classes so students may have to schedule alternative test times or the instructors of the evening classes may have to allow excused absences. RP&A passed a resolution to refer this matter to the Academic Freedom and Standards Committee for consideration and report.

  5. RP&A Referral to Student Affairs Committee Student Organizations RP&A passed a motion to refer to the Student Affairs Committee the task of evaluating and reporting on the present approval process for a student organization to be officially recognized.

  6. RP&A Referral to Personnel Committee “Employee + 1” Concept Professor Isaac indicated that there was a discussion at IFC concerning the “Employee + 1” concept in which an employee of he UM-System would be able to designate one person to include in their benefits program. A motion was passed at RP&A to refer the issue to the Personnel Committee for consideration and report.
