what qualities they would like to see in the next
president of UAlbany. There were approximately
twenty people in attendance. A second session was
held on Tuesday, March 20th on the Downtown campus.
There were four people in attendance. The comments
were wide ranging and focused on the characteristics

issues that will face a new President, and the search
process itself. For those unable to attend either
meeting, the committee welcomes feedback through
the Presidential Search website at

was unable to attend, so the Council has not yet
reviewed the task force’s materials addressing
“Resolution 1112-03R to Investigate Violations of
Governance Procedures in Matter of 2010 Program
Deactivations.” GOV has received nominations from
some groups, but is still awaiting representatives from
GAC and UPPC to finish populating the committee to
address “Resolution 1112-05R to Determine Offerings
in European Languages & Classical Studies in
Accordance with UAlbany's Mission and Strategic
Plan.” The Committee on Liaison and Elections had
announced the deadline for nominations by petition
as March 19. The spring elections will be held
electronically, from April 2-5. Updates to the Senate
Handbook were discussed, and we considered
possible clarifications to the bylaws. Due to a lower
than normal meeting turnout, GOV decided to
postpone any decisions until its next meeting, which is
scheduled for April 16.
