The proposed changes can be viewed at:

NOTE:  Proposed additions to the Constitution are underlined and proposed deletions are crossed out. 

Certainly, most significant of the proposed changes to the Constitution is to Article II “Composition of the Senate”.   This article defines the voting membership of the Senate.   This article did generate a good amount of discussion among faculty during the beginning of the Spring 2007 semester.  

Initial discussion of the proposed changes to Article II can be viewed at Sheldon’s Blog: http://article2discussion.blogspot.com

Statewide discussion of adjunct participation is included in “Google Groups” at:
