Agenda is forthcoming.

UO Senate Chair Margie Paris has extended an open invitation to Officers of Administration encouraging us to attend UO Senate meetings.

The next UO Senate meeting is:

Wednesday, February 12
3:00pm to 5:00pm
Lawrence 115

Among the matters under consideration is a motion that will be brought to the floor of the Senate at a future meeting. The motion calls for open meetings of many university committees and for advance notice of committee meetings. Because the motion would change the way university committees have operated, we’ve created a two-step process for processing the motion: first a discussion in the February meeting and then a vote during a later meeting.

For more details, visit senate.uoregon.edu.

The three candidates for the position of Senior Vice President and Provost position will be on campus for interviews the following dates:

• Scott Coltrane (candidate #1): January 13–14
• Jane Conoley (candidate #2): January 21–22
• Candidate #3: February 3-4

Details on each candidate, as well as interview schedules, are available on the President’s website. Also see the position description and the Opportunities and Challenge Profile (PDF) for the position.

We encourage Officers of Administration to participate in this search as this a very important leadership role.

Interim Provost Scott Coltrane is conducting a series of meetings to discuss the university’s academic plan. OAs are encouraged to attend.

Each meeting topic will be presented twice to accommodate schedules.

• December 10, 12:00 – 1:30 pm on Benchmarks and Metrics
• January 14, 9:00 – 10:30 am on Benchmarks and Metrics
• January 30, 3:00 – 4:30 pm on Setting Priorities
