From Senate Chair Bhavnani (on my final day): Letter of Appreciation of Senate Faculty

[Senate]

31st August 2020

Dear Colleagues,

As I step down from my role as Chair of the Systemwide Senate today, I attach my letter of appreciation to all UC faculty, and request that Divisional Chairs and Senates distribute this letter to all senate faculty within their division.The letter also includes some of the controversies and highlights from this past year

...[Our] constitution of shared governance has brought an exceptional level of thought and wisdom to judgments... The coming months and years will be trying, perhaps more so than any other time in the history of the University. [The UC has] a century of shared governance to call on to steer us through the uncharted waters, and the Academic Senate looks forward to working with the Board of Regents and the Office of the President to steer us ultimately to safe harbor.
It has been an honor and a pleasure to serve the Senate and the UC in the past two years.

I welcome incoming chair, Mary Gauvain, and incoming vice chair, Robert Horwitz, and wish them the very best as they continue the proud tradition of UC's shared governance..

Fiat Lux.

Kum-Kum
