I. Call to Order<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Meeting called to order at 2:00 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

II. Automatic Consent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Minutes of March 5, 2026 meeting approved as distributed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

III. Business<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

a. SAAP 08-02 Fiscal Misconduct<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

J. Urdan presented revisions to the Fiscal Misconduct Policy. The policy was withdrawn from Faculty Senate review to allow for additional edits and reformatting under the new SAAP digital accessibility template.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changes are primarily non-substantive and include updated purpose language, added scope, reordered definitions, refined expectations, and clarifications to the Vice Chancellor role and disciplinary process. Nonretaliation provisions remain unchanged.

Motion:<\/strong>\u00a0to recommend approval of SAAP 08-02. The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The policy will proceed to the Academic Staff and Faculty for presentation and approval and University Staff Senate for auto consent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

b. New SAAP: Social Media Usage Representing UWM<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

J. Tabak presented the proposed Social Media Policy, which would apply to all university social media users. The policy was developed to address inconsistent oversight of accounts and recommends multiple owners for accounts to improve continuity and protect UWM\u2019s reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Members asked whether prior feedback had been incorporated, and Jodie Tabak confirmed that it informed revisions to the draft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Questions were also raised about account monitoring, response expectations, training, and accountability. Jodie noted that operational guidance and best practices would be better addressed through onboarding and future communications resources rather than in policy.

Motion:<\/strong>\u00a0to recommend approval of the policy as amended. The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The policy will proceed to the Academic Staff, Faculty, and University Staff Senate for presentation and approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

c. Proposed Initiators and Responsible Parties Following Revisions to SAAP 00-01<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

E. Bechly-Schubert noted that \u201cVice Provost for Research\u201d should be revised to \u201cVice Chancellor for Research.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Motion:<\/strong>\u00a0to approve as amended. The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The policy will proceed to the Academic Staff, Faculty, and University Staff Senate for presentation and approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IV. Other Business as needed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The SecU Office announced that the new policy library has been launched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

V. Adjournment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Meeting adjourned at 2:22 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
