The
Faculty Senate did not make a quorum to discuss the Common Undergraduate
Experience Thursday and some professors said the turnout for next
weeks CUE forum may be small as well.
But
they said that might be a good thing.

Faculty members discuss the religion departments proposal
to amend the CUE on Thursday. A faculty forum will be held
Monday in Dan Rogers Hall to further discuss the CUE.

Religion
professor Andrew Fort said, now that the CUE is closer to
the (University Curriculum Requirements) maybe there wont
be a huge turnout.
The
Faculty Senate will host a forum discussing the Human Experiences
and Endeavors rubric for all professors at 3:30 p.m. Monday in Dan
Rogers Hall, Room 134. It is the first in a series of three town
hall forums discussing each rubric of the CUE.
Faculty
Senators said the meetings may not be as emotional or as
attended as the Faculty Assembly Jan. 30.
Even
though the steam may have de-intensified, to some extent we feel
like we are obligated to do these forums for people that really
believe that they would have an opportunity to discuss the
CUE, said Carolyn Cagle, chairwoman of the Faculty Senate. We
really want this to be an interchange so we can explore a variety
of perspectives. Hopefully everyone
feels they have had a contribution to the process.
Cagle
said she hopes to have a vote for final approval by April or early
May. The Faculty Senate has not approved a draft for faculty-wide
approval yet and is awaiting to hear what professors say at the
forums, senators said.
In
other business, Fort presented a proposal by the religion department
of a modified version of the CUE, which was e-mailed to faculty
Monday.
