Faculty Council Corner

Faculty Council Corner is a regular Thursday morning feature, presenting an open thread for you to bother your HWFC members with pressing questions (or for us to post the pressing questions that you have). Also, you can expect this to be the forum where we post regular updates about what is happening with Faculty Council and when.

Last Week’s Pressing Questions:

This one from the Realist:

~Can y’all ask the Provost ’bout electronic submission of mid-term grades? Yes. (Would that they were all so easy.) Thanks for the suggestion

This Week’s Updates:

~My high hopes to have lots of information to share about our meeting with the Provost were dashed on Tuesday when we learned, gathered together 15 minutes after the meeting was to have begun, that the Provost was unable to attend, having been called into another meeting. Ahem.

Thus, I have less to update you on this week than I’d hoped.

~Jess Bader (Art) has graciously agreed to serve out Theresa Carlton’s  (Math) term as HW’s FC4 rep starting in November through the rest of the year. Welcome aboard, Jess–it’ll be great to have you there as a voice for faculty. My understanding is that Jane Regan (Art) was also willing, but may have schedule conflicts in the spring. I’ll let you know more as I know more.

~If anyone knows of anything else, please post it in the comments.
