Members talk faculty 
transparency, student 

substance abuse

By ANDREW HIYAMA

Daily Staff Reporter

During 
Tuesday’s 
Senate 

Advisory 
Committee 
on 

University 
Affairs 
meeting, 

members discussed various new 
initiatives proposed in last week’s 
meeting, including measures to 
increase transparency through 
document 
sharing, 
expansion 

of the Senate Assembly and 
increased interactions with the 
Board of Regents. The committee 
members additionally canceled 
their upcoming meeting due to 
a limited number of members 
able to attend as well as plans to 

reduce the number of meetings 
throughout the summer months. 

In another effort to increase 

faculty 
transparency, 
the 

committee discussed a proposal 
to require all Senate Assembly 
Committees 
to 
publish 
their 

meeting minutes, as well as 
archiving 
SACUA 
meeting 

material on Mbox — a Univeristy 
file sharing platform. It was not 
made clear whether this material 
would be open to the public.

The committee also discussed 

the possibility of expanding the 
Senate Assembly. LSA professor 
and SACUA member Silke-Maria 
Weineck pointed out that the 
Senate Assembly was no longer 
representative of the faculty due 
to the faculty’s increasing size.

“The faculty has tripled and 

the Senate Assembly has stayed 
the same number,” Weineck said.

Pharmacy 
professor 
and 

SACUA committee member David 
Smith suggested an increase in 
the 
number 

of 
Senate 

Assembly 
members and, 
consequently, 
increasing 
the 
number 

required 
for 

quorum would 
affect decrease 
the efficacy of 
the Assembly.

“That might 

have a negative effect,” Smith 
said

SACUA 
Chair 
William 

Schultz, a professor in the 
College of Engineering, also 
questioned 
whether 
SACUA 

accurately represented the entire 
University’s faculty, offering the 
possibility of reserving a SACUA 
seat for a faculty member from 
the Flint or Dearborn campuses.

Schultz 
also 
stated 
an 

initiative 
to 
add 
attendance 

at the University’s Board of 
Regents Meetings to the duties 
of the SACUA liaison — a 
member who sits in on other 
Univeristy bodies as an observer. 

The committee decided to send 
at least one SACUA member to 
each of the Regents meetings 
in a public capacity to keep 
members of SACUA informed on 
administrative affairs. 

Schultz 
then 
moved 
to 

request a volunteer to attend 
the biennial meeting of Alcohol 
and Other Drugs — a division of 
the University Health Service 
focused on preventing substance 
abuse. 
He 
said 
the 
SACUA 

representative should bring the 

committee’s 
former proposal 
to 
increase 

the number of 
Friday morning 
classes to the 
meeting.

“Remember 

the 
Friday 

morning 
class 

initiative 
was 

nipping 
away 

at a problem, 

that’s reducing by one day a 
week –– one night a week –– our 
students indulging too much,” 
Schultz said. “But I think it would 
be nice to perhaps even consider 
what further things we could do, 
because it certainly is a problem.”

Additionally, 
Schultz 

expressed a desire to publish 
a newsletter once or twice a 
semester, 
summarizing 
the 

actions and accomplishments of 
SACUA, and a desire to promote 
greater committee involvement 
in the newsletter, as opposed to it 
being a sole effort of the SACUA 
chair, as it has been in previous 
years.
