The Faculty Senate Log contains a record of actions that were taken on college issues that were initiated by TCC College Faculty Senate in a format that should be easy to follow and track. The Senate Log was started in the Fall of 2007. Due to the number of issue discussed by the College Senate the Senate Log is separated by academic year. Issue discussed and resolved during a particular academic year will be archived and can be accessed from the links below. Items not resolved and still under discussion at the start of the new academic year will be updated in next academic year Senate Log. All current issues will appear in the table below. If you have any questions on any of the items in the Senate Log, please contact one of the Faculty Senators or the Chair of the College Faculty Senate.

Senate |
Motion: The College Faculty Senate requests that all proposed restructuring
and/or changes to a division’s scope and purpose within the campuses at
Tidewater Community College be routed through the affected campus Faculty
Senate for appropriate discussion and comment. Results from these discussions
and comment periods should be included with any proposal routed to the
Executive Staff or President for approval.
Supporting statements:
1. To support the idea of shared governance, faculty and staff are the ones
most affected by campus changes and would have unique knowledge of their effect on students, mission of the college, and its reputation with its associated communities.
2. Faculty and staff have the knowledge of history of why and how the
current structure was put in place and will have to live with decisions for
very long periods as compared with the average length of time deans and
provosts are in place. We feel it is appropriate that their input be given
official recognition in these matters.
