The Senates Conference must decide whether actions taken by one senate have broader all-university relevance and thus also must be considered by other senates. If the Senates Conference decides that the senates have acted differently on a matter, it must “attempt to promote agreement or consistency,” and in cases of continuing disagreement among the senates, the Senates Conference may forward its own recommendations on the matter.</p> <p>In addition, the Senates Conference acts as an advisory group to the <a href="http://www.bot.uillinois.edu/">Board of Trustees</a> through the President, to the <a href="http://www.uillinois.edu/president/">President</a>, to other administrative officers, and to the senates themselves on matters of university-wide concerns. It is a “special concern of the conference executive committee to aid in maintaining harmonious relations among such officers and the University.”</p> </div></div></div> </div> <div class="clearfix"> <nav class="links node-links clearfix"></nav> </div> </article> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></section> <footer id="section-footer" class="section section-footer"> <div id="zone-footer-wrapper" class="zone-wrapper zone-footer-wrapper clearfix"> <div id="zone-footer" class="zone zone-footer clearfix container-12"> <div class="grid-12 region region-footer-first" id="region-footer-first"> <div class="region-inner region-footer-first-inner"> <div class="block block-block block-2 block-block-2 odd block-without-title" id="block-block-2"> <div class="block-inner clearfix"> <div class="content clearfix"> <p><strong>University Senates Conference</strong><br /> © Copyright 2024 The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois | <a href="http://www.vpaa.uillinois.edu/policies/web_privacy.cfm" title="University of Illinois Web Privacy Statement">Web Privacy Statement</a><br /> 377 Henry Admin Bldg, 506 S Wright St. Urbana, IL 61801 | Tel: (217) 333-5227<br /> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></footer> </div> </body> </html>
