Dr. Michael Robinson, a KSU alumnus attending the meeting, expressed his thanks to the faculty of KSU that inspired him to become a PhD. He asked if recording of this meeting would be available afterward and for the language of the draft resolution. Senator Collum replied that the text would be available when the minutes were posted on the Faculty Senate page at www.kysu.edu.

At this point President Clay asked Senator Collum to summarize the discussion so far. He reported that we had heard concerns about the resolution addressing the role of current administration, which had resulted in an amendment to the text. Concerns were expressed about the purpose of the resolution. What action does the Senate hope will result from it? And about the resolution not addressing the issue of faculty participation in a presidential search. Concern has also been expressed that the Senate has not yet heard enough feedback from the full faculty to be able to go forward on the resolution.

At this point, Senator Hannemann moved to postpone a vote on the resolution to the next regular Faculty Senate meeting, October 1.

Senators voted on this motion, and it passed with 18 votes for, one against and no abstentions. Helen Smith asked that the amended text of the resolution be published to the full faculty.

The meeting adjourned at 11:52 a.m.
