Faculty members OK governance document

At a special general faculty meeting on March 5, faculty members approved a statement of principles for university governance in a voice vote.

An amendment to change the word "should" to "shall ordinarily" was defeated and the document passed as written.

Faculty Senate Chair Dan Embree speculated it would take approximately one year to work out the details of implementing the principles.

The document was published in its entirety in the Feb. 26 issue of MSU Memo.
