For the meeting of the Faculty Senate on December 2, 2019, several Old Business items were brought forward.

A full account of the meeting is available below. Helen Bland (JPHCOPH) called the meeting to order at 4:02 p.m. The Senate accepted the minutes of the October 27, 2019 Senate meeting. The Librarian's Report was approved, as were reports from the General Education Core Curriculum Committee, the Undergraduate Committee, and the Graduate Committee. The Senate addressed several items of Old Business, beginning with a vote on the SECs decision not to bring to the floor a motion to reject the common form and guidelines for faculty evaluation, which were developed by an ad hoc committee. Richard Flynn (CAH), who brought forward the motion, made several clarifying points. The Senate then voted 41 to 23 to uphold the SECs decision, which means the issues concerning the form will reside in the Faculty Welfare Committee. Several questions were asked about RFIs on student names on class rolls. There was no other discussion of Old Business. The Senate then moved to New Business. Senators approved the following motion, Affirmation of Georgia Southern's Commitment to Inclusive Excellence, in a vote that passed with 54 in favor to 3 opposed.
