The Provost confirmed that there would be no distinction. The Provost invites faculty to collaborate with the administration on making the 3+1 programs effective.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Report: FA President<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The signing of the first Memorandum of Understanding is described as &#8220;imminent.&#8221; Faculty have many questions which have not been answered, on subjects ranging from admissions to the language on the degrees (i.e. concentrations, tracks).Faculty teaching long classes on days when there are weather-related delays should prepare for delays both on the syllabus and decide whether to exercise their authority to begin class meetings late; faculty and deans may need to discuss how the latter affects courses within each School. [A faculty member requested that the language of the Alert Me Now announcements be changed to reflect that some classes might begin later than usual; the President acknowledged this request.] FA is grateful to Helen Grey and Christina Connor for their help with clickers in the past; FA votes will now be held using secure Qualtrics surveys. Faculty aware of any FA members who do not receive the surveys going out tonight are encouraged to contact their FAEC reps. [A faculty member asked whether this technology change means voting results will not be immediate; the FA president confirmed that it does, though he noted that the president reserves the right to use both paper ballots and hand votes, should immediate results be needed.] [A faculty member noted that the Provost\u2019s website should include language that could be used to clarify the meaningful differences between concentrations and tracks.]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Candidates for FA President (2020-22)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Nassem Choudhury and Ken McMurdy delivered their candidacy speeches.
