Title: Discussion of the sanctions, of the process by which
they were negotiated and agreed to, and possible
statements by the Senate to the public and to the NCAA in
relation to all these issues
Brief Summary of the Matter: The recent NCAA sanctions
accepted by PSU obviously touch on many issues of long
interest to the Faculty Senate. Accordingly it is appropriate
to have an open discussion of our perceptions of these
sanctions and of where they fit in the landscape of past
sanctions of other universities and colleges by the NCAA,
of shared governance at PSU and our responsibilities as the
Senate, of the process by which the final sanctions were
negotiated and agreed to by President Erickson, and
whether as a body the Senate would like to make a
statement to the NCAA and/or to the public.
