<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">As Senate Chair, I try to remain neutral in handling all relevant Senate business and I generally refrain from openly voicing my opinion so as not to unduly influence others.
However, I have given this impending discussion much thought and feel it is necessary to emphasize the importance of this meeting. From my personal view, I am not entirely comfortable with what has been communicated to me regarding these proposed changes/actions
and the university’s reactions to the events that prompted them. I believe this is a significant discussion in which the entire YSU community, faculty, staff, and students, should actively participate. The proposed actions/changes may have profound impacts
not only on our students and their educational/social experiences at YSU, but also faculty and staff may be affected. Therefore, I most strongly encourage you and your non-senator colleagues to attend this meeting so that your input will be taken into consideration
prior to any action by the YSU administration.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
