MEMBERS OF THE REPRESENTATIVE ASSEMBLY MEMBERS OF THE ACADEMIC SENATE, SAN DIEGO DIVISION
October 13, 2020 Representative Assembly Meeting
Dear Colleagues:
The first meeting of the 2020-21 academic year is scheduled for Tuesday, October 13th from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. The meeting will be held via Zoom. Representative Assembly members will receive the Zoom link directly. If you are a Senate member who is not an Assembly Representative and you would like to attend the meeting, please RSVP to Ashley Welch at awelch@ucsd.edu to obtain the login instructions. All Senate members are welcome to attend.
Although the meeting will start at 3:30, we are asking meeting participants to begin logging in at 3:15 to allow time for each participant to be admitted into the meeting. We also ask that your Zoom name match your real name, so that you may be identified. The meeting materials include this and other important Zoom information for this meeting.
The Chancellor will address the Assembly at this meeting, Staff Human Resources will provide a briefing on Open Enrollment, the Teaching and Learning Commons will present, and the following proposals will be made. • Proposal to establish a Master’s and PhD Specialization in Human-Centered Design. • Proposal to establish a PhD Specialization in Interdisciplinary Environmental Research. • Proposal to establish a new San Diego Divisional Senate Standing Committee on Climate Change.
As large Zoom meetings do not lend themselves to free-flowing discussion, I ask that you please review the meeting materials in advance of the meeting and send questions to academicsenateoffice@ucsd.edu with the agenda topic number in the subject line of the email, by Friday, October 9th. Your questions will be shared with the presenters so that they may be prepared to discuss them in advance. Discussion will necessarily be limited.
Primary Representatives and Alternate Representatives should coordinate their attendance and voting for this meeting. Both may attend; however, Alternate Representatives may only vote in the absence of the Primary Representative. Please coordinate who will attend and cast votes, in advance of the meeting.
Stay healthy,
Steven Constable Chair Academic Senate, San Diego Division
University of California San Diego, 9500 Gilman Drive, La Jolla, CA, 92093
