a. SEN 19 20 01: Faculty Processional at Academic Convocations and Assemblies
At all Convocations and Assemblies where faculty line up, faculty will be organized by tenure rank (Full, Associate, Assistant, Instructor, Visiting Professor, Adjunct) rather than by school and will leave in an announced formal recessional rather than departing at random.
There was conversation about doing rank or not. Several expressed no feelings either way. A few expressed concern of having full professors at the end of the processional. Stated that someone needs to organize this through the administrative offices.
Motion to approve to line up by rank for processionals and recessionals.

i. The Kentucky State University Center for Interdisciplinary Intelligence, Security, and Justice Studies will be committed to facilitating research and stimulating education in justice and security studies, broadly defined. Issues of justice, intelligence, and security in today's societies arise in a wide number of disciplines, including virtually all the social sciences and many biomedical sciences, physical sciences, engineering, and humanities. These issues are best understood from an interdisciplinary perspective recognizing the complex nature of contextualized human behavior, the reciprocal relationships between people and society, and the importance of historical context in understanding our pasts and negotiating our futures.
