RE: Committee on Committees Call for Volunteers - Shared Governance

The annual call for volunteers for service on committees of the Academic Senate has 
been sent to all faculty by email and is due on January 16, 2007.  The form is an 
interactive form to be filled out and submitted on line, available at 
http://www.mrak.ucdavis.edu/senate/committee_volunteer_form.cfm.  Most of you know 
that the Academic Senate is a critical, primary partner in the governance of the 
University with distinct authority under the standing orders of the Board of Regents.  
We accept this distinction as a privilege and responsibility, and have organized the 
Academic Senate into standing committees consonant with the authorities and 
responsibilities delegated by the Board of Regents.  The Senate is actively advising 
the Administration in their areas of responsibility.   

The purpose of this memo is to ask for your assistance in identifying colleagues in 
your Schools, Colleges, and departments to serve on Academic Senate committees.  Our 
effectiveness is directly related to sound advice from balanced committees fairly 
representing the breadth of the campus.  As the work of the Senate directly affects 
programs throughout the campus, representation from your respective units will insure 
that your perspectives are fully represented.  In addition, of course, Senate service 
is an important part of every faculty member's responsibility to the department, 
college, and University.

We look forward to working together towards our ultimate goal of true shared governance 
at the University of California, Davis.

Linda F. Bisson, Chair 
Davis Division Academic Senate

Robert G. Flocchini, Chair
