On the systemwide Academic Senate's website, there is a proposal for changes in procedures regarding supply-change management.* The proposal, which runs 100 pages, was posted in late May and comments are due by mid-July. Now yours truly suspects that this proposal will not be of great concern for the vast majority of Senate faculty. However, it might matter to some who, for example, administer grants in which purchasing is necessary, or possibly department chairs who have authority over departmental purchases.
The point is that it would be helpful if the Senate, rather than just posting such items to comply with bureaucratic procedures, provided some guidance to faculty as to whether matters such as this should be of concern, and indicated who those concerned might be. How about including a short paragraph highlighting what within the 100 pages is important, if anything? Just a suggestion...
