We met with ASC Chair Sarah Morgan and discussed the new plenary format where everyone will be invited to stay after the Chancellor’s speech in the effort to open up better channels of communication for all UWM workers. We also discussed issues about granting graduate faculty status to non-faculty members who are qualified to teach graduate students.

We moved on to discuss the Report from the UC for the upcoming Faculty Senate meeting, feeling that it was important to address the aggressive assault of faculty integrity on the part of some state legislators. We then received a follow-up about the hoped for implementation of a potential graduate assistantship pay increase, and concluding by debating some related budgetary issues.
