LEXINGTON, Ky. (May 10, 2021) This past year, the University Senate and its executive body, the Senate Council, worked hard to balance the needs of instructors and students, who have been caught up in a whirlwind of unanticipated, life-changing shifts.
Aaron Cramer, chair of the University Senate Council and faculty member in the College of Engineering, explains that “because the Senate is comprised of about 100 elected faculty senators, plus 18 students and various administrators, the University Senate is always poised to provide input and present solutions, even more so during these challenging times.”
Jennifer Bird-Pollan, former Senate Council chair and faculty member in the Rosenberg College of Law, recalls the beginning of the pandemic.
