Appointments o According to a former attorney for City of San Francisco, advice and consent of Senate means to vote. Additionally, the governance manual states Òit is the responsibility of the Senate to vote on committee memberships. It does not state that these are selections made by the president. As a result, the appointments made by President to committees are invalid. All appointments made in the past are not valid, unless they are voted in. Therefore, the Senate must vote to approve all prior appointments, all current appointments and future prior appointments. o In the future, a call for nominations will go out to faculty and the senate will vote on the membership of committees. o Senator Gaiz made a motion as follows: "To put us in compliance with bylaws all current representatives and future applicants come before the Academic Senate for consent using a process that is as efficient as possible." o Main Motion was adopted o Ballots were distributed o Senator Fung requested that she be removed from consideration from the GRC o President Bellisimo accepted Senator Fung's resignation o Votes were collected, placed in a sealed envelope, and the seal was signed by two officers of the Senate
