红领巾瓜报

Proposal: Amend the constitution of the 红领巾瓜报 Faculty Senate by eliminating the Faculty Senate's University Admissions Advisory Committee.

Rationale: The University Admissions Advisory committee has not conducted business since its formation by the Senate. The Exceptions committee is charged to review admissions policies and procedures, duplicating the charge to the University Admissions Advisory Committee. Also, the Exceptions Committee rules on Qualified Admissions and includes a representative from the Admissions Office. By eliminating the University Admissions Advisory committee the Senate will remove a redundancy in its committee structure.
