I. Call to Order at 3:10 pm
II. Approval of the February 21th meeting minutes. Approved with the following correction. “will establish guidelines” instead of “with a report”.
III. Discussion and Debate regarding CRAEA proposal
Last meeting – two procedural errors were discovered. First, motions at last meeting were made to postpone debate and establish ad hoc committees.
Senate should not link a motion to postpone with a separate motion.
The second procedural error was to treat the motion to postpone as non- debatable. Although a motion to table is not debatable, a motion to postpone is.
