Items From The Floor

The final section of each Faculty Senate meeting agenda is for "items from the floor." This has primarily been used for senators to bring up impromptu constituent concerns. Time permitting, up to three non-Senator guests attendees may sign up for a 3-minute time slot raise issues or concerns. Sign up in advance at Faculty.Senate@wwu.edu or at the entry table in the Board of Trustees room beginning at 3:50 p.m. on Senate meeting days.
