Schofield, Susan W.
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Susan Schofield served as Stanford University’s academic secretary from 1996 to 2002. Describing the role of the academic secretary as a “facilitator of faculty governance,” Schofield provides details on the day-to-day operations of the Office of the Academic Secretary and the Faculty Senate. She describes the election process, the role of the Steering Committee in setting the agenda for the body, meeting procedures and traditions, and the work of the Committee on Committees (or nominating committee). She also offers insights on the manner in which senior administrators interact with the Faculty Senate and describes two key aspects of the academic secretary’s job: persuading faculty members to serve on or chair committees and authoring the minutes of Faculty Senate meetings.
