UNIVERSITY SENATE CHAIR’S REPORT – Susanna Fessler, Chair
• A special meeting of the full Senate was called on February 22nd in
order to give senators a chance to meet with representatives of
Isaacson, Miller, the search firm retained for the Presidential Search.
Attendance was low, at just over a dozen senators.
• The SEC also met on Wednesday, February 22nd (Monday was a holiday
for professional faculty, so the meeting was moved to a Wednesday).
The first agenda item was a 30-minute session with Michael Baer and
Pam Pezzoli of Isaacson, Miller. The president recused himself from
this portion of the meeting and there were no SEC minutes taken. The
conversation revolved around what characteristics the SEC members
felt would be important for the next university president. The Senate
Chair and Vice Chair, obligated to attend a Presidential Search
Committee meeting that overlapped the SEC meeting, left shortly
thereafter and the Chair of CPCA presided over the remainder of the
SEC meeting.
• The remaining agenda items were: follow up on Resolution 1112-04
and 1112-05, and also a number of bills from UAC. The bills from UAC
were all approved to be moved to the Senate floor. After a long
discussion about Resolution 1112-04, the SEC concluded that, as noted
in the resolutions, a procedure for formal inclusive consultation at the
“earliest possible stages” already existed, and further since the Senate
is defined as a consultative body, no mechanism for enforcement or
requirement could be constructed by this body, so that further action
was not within its purview. On Resolution 1112-05, the SEC decided to
delegate the forming of the committee to the Governance Council.

• GSO (Graduate Student Organization) – Heidi Nicholls,
GSO Representative
• At our last GSO Assembly Meeting, a committee was
formed and has already had their first meeting, addressing
the fundamental flaws of our Constitution.
Upon adjournment, our Assembly Speaker stepped down
from his position. President Nicholls was charged with the
role of appointing a new speaker by the March Assembly
Meeting. GSO recently held their monthly social mixer at
Jillians and is revving up for the big Mardi Gras celebration
to be done Casino Style and the movie screening of Piled
Higher Deeper. Also coming up in the end of the month is
the next of the Graduate Student Speaker Series
showcasing School of Social Welfare Doctoral Candidates
YiYi Chen and Yong Li, discussing the development of
support systems for supervisors in public child welfare.
Currently in the office we have been coordinating with the
non-uptown campuses on concerns of how better to serve
those particular graduate student populations such as
emailing in event reservations, required flyers, voucher pick-
ups etc. On a larger scale we are looking at the possibility of
establishing a downtown campus GSO office and have been
meeting with SWSA and SWARE as RGSOs to spearhead this
project.

• SA (Student Association) – Bryant Barksdale, Student
Association President Designee
• The Student Association recently held mid-term elections to
fill all Student Senate vacancies along with the open Vice
Presidential spot. The current administration is in the process
of filing all open executive board positions.
• On Friday February 17th SA kicked of its “Student to Student
Initiative”. This is a five week program that will have high
school students working with five of our student groups in
workshops and mentoring activities. Student Association and
university administration are currently working with Albany
High School and city officials to allow the students to perform
with the groups at an event planned for April.
• ParkFest, our annual spring event, is currently being planned.
We are considering looking at three different locations for
the event and are still in the process of deciding on
performers. Since there will be no Fountain Day this year SA
is looking to do more with this one event for the student
body.
• Other events that we have planned for this semester are the
Culture Carnival, Outstanding Faculty Award, Purple and Gold
Awards, and various co-sponsorships for speaker events. We
are also looking to collaborate with the SUNY Student
Assembly to participate in SUNY Palooza.

over the past 2-3 years.

• LISC (Council on Libraries, Information Systems, and

• The majority of our Feb. 6 meeting was devoted to Counsel
John Reilly’s presentation by on UAlbany’s protocol for
handling FOIL requests. All NY State agencies are subject to
FOIL requests, and all agency records are potentially
accessible. There are, however, nine categories of exemptions
(such as records covered by FERPA). Requests are handled by
Counsel on a case-by-case basis to determine the applicability
of FOIL and its exemptions. New York’s “Intra-Agency
Exemption,” which protects the “deliberative process of
government,” offers some safeguards against wholesale
requisition of faculty records, and might have been applicable
in the UWisconsin case that was discussed at UFS. Counsel
Reilly’s presentation provoked lively discussion, and details are
available in LISC’s published minutes.
• The Library Committee heard from Associate Librarian Karen
Brown about the “Digital Content Task Force” on Feb. 10. This
group is developing a long-term plan for archiving, preserving,
and expanding access to electronic materials created within
the University.
• The IT Committee, which met twice in January, plans to review
a draft of the "Responsible Use" policy by the end of February
in anticipation of its presentation at the next LISC meeting,
March 5.
