George Friedman, Jr. as Parliamentarian.  \nApproval of Minutes  \n04/06/15-01 The minutes from March 9, 2015 were approved as distributed.  \nSenate Executive Committee Report  \nSenate Executive Committee (SEC) Chair and faculty senator Roy Campbell (ENGR) announced that senator and Educational Policy committee member Steve Michael (BUS) suffered a house fire over the weekend.  \nThe SEC 2015-16 Chair and Vice Chair election will be held online April 7-10, 2015. The 2015-16 Elections and Organizational meeting will be on April 20, 2015 and is a very important meeting. The University is facing a critical budget challenge with the anticipated budget cuts. Campbell and a few colleagues have put together a job description for faculty senators and the  \nresponsibilities as senators. At the May Senate meeting, a draft of the revised Provost Communication \\#3 will come to the Senate as a report, but comments are welcome. At the University Senates Conference (USC) level, discussions about academic freedom and tenure continue.  \n04/06/15-02 Tellers for the meeting were faculty senators Nicholas Burbules (EDUC) and Bettina Francis (LAS), and student senator Sam LeRoy (BUS) .  \nChancellor’s Remarks  \nVice Provost for Faculty Affairs and Academic Policies Abbas Benmamoun spoke in the Chancellor’s absence. Benmamoun noted the incredible amount of time that has been spent reviewing possible budget outcomes for next year. The anticipated state budget cut could be 31.5% for fiscal year (FY) 2016. Urbana’s portion of the $208 million reduction is $86-114 million. The range depends on if tuition dollars are included. The Office of the Provost will continue to reach out to various groups on campus, including the Senate, the Campus Budget Oversight Committee (CBOC), and the SEC. Illinois must remain accessible and true to its mission without raising tuition. To overcome this challenging budget situation, a collective effort is required. It is anticipated that the pension and benefits costs will also be gradually shifted to the University.  \nQuestions/Discussion  \nStudent senator Dickey (LAS) encourage follow senators to contact legislatures and let them know the negative impact the budget cut will have and how important Illinois is to the state.  \nBenmamoun noted that there are some funds at the departmental level, but not at the center level. Much of the central level funds are earmarked for capital projects. The solution must belong-term.  \nRobert-Lieb (AP) commented on the senator job description mentioned by SEC Chair Campbell. Roberts-Lieb (AP) noted that academic professional (AP) senator duties are a little different than faculty senators.  \nChair of the Senate Committee on Equal Opportunity and inclusion (EQ) Harry Hilton announced that EQ is preparing a questionnaire on the diversity campus climate. The survey will go out to faculty right now, and other groups may be included in the future.  \nConsent Agenda  \nHearing no objections, the following proposals were approved by unanimous consent. 04/06/15-03  EP.15.20 * Clarification of Policies on Graduate Minors and Concentrations  \nApril 6, 2015  \n04/06/15-04  EP.15.26 * Proposal from the School of Social Work and the Graduate College to revise and  \nrename the graduate concentration in Advocacy, Leadership, and Social Change 04/06/15-05  EP.15.46 * Proposal from the College of Agricultural, Consumer, and Environmental Sciences  \n(ACES) to Rename and Revise the Integrated Pest Management Concentration in the BS in Crop Sciences  \n04/06/15-06  EP.15.47 * Proposal from the College of Agricultural, Consumer, and Environmental Sciences (ACES) to Revise the Concentrations in Agroecology,","cbCaiioucSQdlLCU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiioucSQdlLCU","pdf",117161,"English","# Approval of Minutes\n# Senate Executive Committee Report\n# Chancellor’s Remarks\n# Questions/Discussion\n# Consent Agenda\n# Proposals","[{\"question\":\"Who presided over the Urbana-Champaign Senate meeting on April 6, 2015?\",\"answer\":\"Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs and Academic Policies Abbas Benmamoun presided.
