From the Chairperson

Ted Magder, FSC Chair 2011-2012

Spring 2012

The Faculty Senators Council has had a productive fall semester working through a variety of items concerning the University’s academic and faculty affairs, from faculty housing and the NYU 2031 Plan to on-going developments with the global network university.  Our committees have worked closely with the University’s administrative liaisons on benefits, finance, and wellness. We continue to monitor and comment on any proposed changes to tenure and promotion procedures and other personnel-related items.  The Executive Committee’s meetings with the President and the Provost have been substantive and cordial.

We’ve also been working to improve the way we communicate with our constituents, first through a new website launched last spring, and now through an electronic newsletter regularly distributed.  Our aim is not just to keep the faculty informed on the work of FSC, but to establish channels for greater participation in university governance by creating livelier forums for discussion anchored to easily accessible and accurate sources of information.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank FSC members for the contribution to University governance and, especially, to the committee chairs who have ensured that FSC’s agenda for the year meaningfully reflects the faculty’s priorities and interests.
