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 attendees may sign up for a 3-minute time slot to raise issues or concerns. Sign up in advance at Faculty.Senate@wwu.edu or, space permitting, at the entry table in the Board of Trustees room beginning at 3:50 p.m. on Senate meeting days.
