[Uosenateexec] FW: Final invite

[Betina Lynn]

Sent on behalf of Senate President Dyana Mason...

Dear Senate Executive Committee members and Senators,

In recent weeks, I have heard in many different forums the deep anxiety and concern that everyone is experiencing regarding the Administration's call to cut $25-30 million dollars<https://president.uoregon.edu/revisiting-uos-financial-outlook> from the University budget.

Although the Senate's "official" calendar typically does not begin until the start of the academic year, I feel it's important to offer a time and place for us to gather, hear different perspectives from across our Senate constituencies and articulate our collective concern with the Administration about the impacts any potential cuts may have.

Additionally, the timeline that has been shared with us makes comprehensive campus engagement difficult.

I'd like to invite you to a special "emergency" Senate Executive Committee meeting on Friday, August 29 from 12-1pm.    You will also receive a zoom invite to add to your calendar.

Agenda
I.  Welcome
II. Brief  Remarks
IV.  Potential Open Letter - Introduction and Discussion
V. Next steps, and adjourn

Although our Executive Committee meetings are generally not recorded, we will be recording and posting this meeting as well as inviting all Senators. Visitors are also welcome but will only be allowed to participate at the discretion of the Senate President.

I understand that meeting when many faculty are "off contract" is unusual, so let me thank you in advance for taking time out of your schedules to participate.
