[Lu_faculty] Faculty Senate Document

[Hooks,Mose Y]

Dr. Khiwa:



Please, the Committee met and agreed to the revisions.  Please do not disrupt the process after decisions were made and approved by the committee.  You were present and had opportunities at that time to make suggestive changes. I  am indeed surprised with your  action after you agreed to the final vote of the committee. As a committee member, I am requesting that you withdraw the disruptive procedure and additions prior to the meeting and do so with all persons to  whom you sent the "add on". Thank you.



Dr. Hooks
