President Fellguth requested permission to move up an action item on the agenda (Action Item XII D). A motion by P. Mayfield and seconded by L. Estrella supported this agenda change. J. Fellguth discussed the appointments with the Dean of P. E. Another slate had been previously approved (or was it just suggested??) by the Academic Senate. Senators expressed concerns about some of the names on the proposed Football Coach Hiring Committee. After discussion P. Adams moved approval of the faculty to the football coach hiring committee and Carol King seconded. One senator voted against the list of appointments and all other senators voted in favor of the list of faculty appointments.
