Agenda Items (1)
Forensic Title: Discussion of the sanctions, of the process by which they
were negotiated and agreed to, and possible statements by the Senate to the public and to the NCAA in relation to all these issues
Brief Summary of the Matter: The recent NCAA sanctions accepted by PSU obviously touch on many issues of long interest to the Faculty Senate. Accordingly it is appropriate to have an open discussion of our perceptions of these sanctions and of where they fit in the landscape of past sanctions of other universities and colleges by the NCAA, of shared governance at PSU and our responsibilities as the Senate, of the process by which the final sanctions were negotiated and agreed to by President Erickson, and whether as a body the Senate would like to make a statement to the NCAA and/or to the public.
