Faculty Senate Reacts to "Ceasefire" Agreement with Justice Department
The Faculty Senate met on Friday to discuss the University's recent agreement with the Justice Department, which suspended five investigations into the University's policies and practices.
Several senators expressed frustration over being excluded from the negotiations and voiced concerns about the impact of the agreement on admissions, as well as the search for the next president and provost.
The University signed the agreement with the Justice Department on October 22, suspending the enforcement of five investigations that began earlier this year.
The agreement comes after two investigations were already closed in early September.
A few senators raised concerns about the potential impact of the agreement on admissions and the heightened level of scrutiny it would create.
