<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Please be sure to review the agenda for this Wednesday’s meeting of the Academic Senate. There are a couple of actionable items to be addressed. Moreover, the agenda includes
a number of discussion items including an amended leave policy, strategic planning update, Top Hat presentation, discussion regarding the bookstore, and information regarding the upcoming provost search. Therefore, I anticipate that this meeting may run longer
than the regular 4:00-5:00 PM meeting time. Certainly, your full engagement in the business and discussion items would be welcome.
