Camilla Brammer said Monday to the Faculty Senate of Marshall University the current incomplete policy needed to be revised during a meeting held in the John Spotts Room of the Memorial Student Center.

            Brammer, professor of communications and chair of the Faculty Senate, addressed the issues of the current incomplete policy offered to Marshall University students. 

            As she passed the policy along to each of the twenty-five members in attendance, many made comments and recommendations were made about the policy.

            Burnis Morris, Carter G. Woodson professor of Marshall University, commented on several grammatical errors.

            “The end of that long paragraph, entered to should be entered into and in the next paragraph in the event that the faculty leaves I think it should be in the event that the faculty member leaves,” Morris said. 

During the reading of the policy, members also made mention of the fact, no definition of the idea of “Good Standing” was mentioned in the policy.

            When asked by a faculty senate member if the definition was included in the policy, Bernice Bullock, secretary of the Faculty Senate said, “There is no definition.”

            The other agenda discussed briefly was the Grievance Procedure for Acts of Discrimination and Harassment.  Members made fewer comments about the procedure and agreed with the current standing of the document. 

            The meeting was held in a record setting time of less than twenty minutes.
