Kerry Scott, UCSC Rep to the Committee on Professional Governance brought the committee's charge to "survey the full extent of collaborative interactions between LAUC at each division, and the Academic Senate at each campus division." Following are specific questions asked and the answers Scott will submit to LAUC Statewide: 1. Do LAUC members serve on any Academic Senate committees? Graduate Council - one advisory, non-voting librarian Committee on the Library - University Librarian is ex-officio. LAUC-SC Chair and Vice-Chair also serve on the committee. 2. Are LAUC members called upon to comment as guests at Senate committee meetings? Librarians are often called in as guests to the Committee on the Library. Staff involved with budget planning and Scholarly Communications are two examples. 3. What is the role of the Library Administration in formal relations with the Senate Division? University Librarian is a voting member of the Academic Senate. 4. At some campus divisions within the University, faculty members have expressed an interest in two-way dialogue with LAUC, e.g., LAUC could invite a member of the Committee on Library to be ex officio to the LAUC Executive Committee. Any movement in this area? No - Committee on the Library provides an effective communication pathway for the library and the academic senate.
