SENSE OF THE SENATE RESOLUTION

HONORING AND THANKING DR. SALLY VEREGGE FOR HER SERVICE TO THE SENATE AND TO THE UNIVERSITY

 

Whereas,          Dr. Sally Veregge has been an Academic Senator for many years, and                                                                  assumed many leadership responsibilities, including the chairmanship of                                                                the Organization and Government Committee, and

 

Whereas,          Dr. Veregge served as Chair of the Academic Senate for the 2005-2006                                                                  academic year, and

 

Whereas,          When the Senate, due to unforeseen circumstances, found itself without a                                                             Chair-elect, Dr. Veregge was willing to step into the breach on very short                                                                notice and serve as Chair, and

 

Whereas,          Dr. Veregge has brought to the work of the Academic Senate broad and                                                                 deep knowledge of the university, along with excellent judgment, ethical                                                                 behavior, fairness, honesty, integrity and carefully deliberative leadership,                                                   and

           

Whereas,          She has led the Academic Senate and the University as a whole during the                                                            initial stages of an important strategic planning initiative, and

 

Whereas,          She has served as Senate Chair during a period where the University is                                                                  undergoing a full review by its accrediting agency, and

 

Whereas,          She has been a strong advocate for the principles of non-                                                                          discrimination and inclusion, therefore be it

 

Resolved           That the Academic Senate of San José State University  thank and                                                                        commend Dr. Sally Veregge for her willingness to take on the task of                                                                     Chair on short notice and be it further

 

Resolved           That the Academic Senate of San José State University congratulate, thank                                                           and commend Dr. Sally Veregge for her exemplary leadership.
