Born in New York City on Nov. 28, 1927, Seymour joined the UW-Madison faculty in 1961. Seymour taught courses in Zoology and Genetics. He was recognized by his students as an outstanding teacher. Seymour was especially proud of his contributions to Introductory Zoology (Zoo 101/2). His ability to administer the large team involved in teaching that course, combined with his ability to communicate effectively with the vast number of students who passed through these gateway classes brought him satisfaction. Seymour also took great pleasure in teaching the Undergraduate Honors course in the Zoology Department. Seymour's research interests were in the genetic effects of radiation and of chemicals, both by direct experimentation and by studying and analyzing data. Seymour's careful work on the effects of ionizing radiation on chromosomes in germ cells in Drosophila made major contributions to our understanding of how radiation results in stable, heritable changes in DNA, and what environmental conditions sensitize cells for DNA damage. A major intellectual influence for Seymour was his Ph.D. advisor at the University of Indiana, Herman J. Muller, the Nobel Laureate who first demonstrated, using Drosophila, that radiation is mutagenic, a discovery that opened up a new era in genetics. Seymour counted the distinguished popul UW-Madison Faculty Senate. transcription of recording >> All right. I am told that we have a quorum, so I am going to call the meeting to order. Can I ask all of the faculty to rise, as you're able, for the reading of the memorial resolutions. Let me recognize Emeritus Professor Millard Susman, to present the memorial resolutions for Professor Emeritus Seymour Abrahamson. >> Professor Seymour Abrahamson died at the age of 88 on July 23, 2016. Seymour joined the U.W. faculty in 1961, and over his long career, taught courses in zoology and genetics. Students appreciated his enthusiasm, his wit, and his personal warmth. He served twice as Chair of Zoology. Seymour's research on genetic effects of radiation, using drosophila, fruit fly, made him a word renowned expert on mutation caused by radiation and other environmental factors. And for seven years, he directed the major study on the long-term genetic effects of atomic radiation on survivors exposed in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Among his many honors was an award from the Emperor of Japan. Seymour was the founding editor of the Journal of Environmental Mutagenesis. He engaged in community activities and traveled with his family, including his wife, Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Shirley Abrahamson, and their son, Daniel. Seymour's joie de vivre and his playful inquisitiveness will be deeply missed. >> Thank you very much. Let me call on Professor Patricia McManus to present the memorial resolution for Professor Emeritus John Berbee. >> Professor Emeritus John G. Berbee died on December 14, 2016, in Madison. During more than three decades of service to the Department of Plant Pathology and the Department of Forestry, Jack's program contributed significantly to the development of forest pathology as a science, and to applying research-based knowledge in the practice of forestry. His work contributed to success in reforestation and restoration of productive forests, and to the early discoveries of viruses that infect trees. Following retirement, Jack traveled the country with his wife, Flora, in a Volkswagen van, and to continue to share his enthusiasm for natures, trees and forests. >> Thank you, and I want to recognize Professor Berbee's son, Jim Berbee, and his wife, Karen Walsh, are here. They are also very good friends of the University in many ways, thank you for coming. [ Applause ] >> Let me recognize Professor Richard Lottridge to present the memorial resolution for Professor Emeritus, Robert Cole. >> Robert F. Cole, Emeritus Professor of Music, died on December 23, 2016, at Oakwood Village, after a long illness. He was 93 years old. After graduating from high school, he was accepted under full scholarship to the prestigious Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. After a short stint in the U.S. Coast Guard Band during World War II, he became a member of the flute section of the Philadelphia Orchestra under the conductor, Eugene Normandy. In 1962, he joined the faculty of the School of Music, where he taught flute, chamber music, and helped establish the Wenker Quintet, the faculty enseFaculty Document 2678 1 May 2017 Memorial Resolution of the Faculty of the University of Wisconsin-Madison On the Death of Professor Emeritus Seymour Abrahamson Professor Emeritus Seymour Abrahamson died in Madison on Saturday, July 23, 2016 at the age of 88.

Seymour's careful work on the effects of ionizing radiation on chromosomes in germ cells in Drosophila made major contributions to our understanding of how radiation results in stable, heritable changes in DNA, and what environmental conditions sensitize cells for DNA damage. A major intellectual influence for Seymour was his Ph.D. advisor at the University of Indiana, Herman J. Muller, the Nobel Laureate who first demonstrated, using Drosophila, that radiation is mutagenic, a discovery that opened up a new era in genetics. Seymour counted the distinguished population geneticist Dr. James F. Crow among his closest friends and greatest mentors at UW-Madison. Seymour's work extended beyond Drosophila, however. He also made significant contributions to understanding how radiation damages human DNA. Seymour lectured widely across the United States, Europe and Asia, publishing over 100 articles and book chapters in peer-reviewed scientific journals dealing with health, physics and radiation. Seymour's expertise in environmental mutagenesis — and especially in radiation mutagenesis — placed him among an elite group of scientists who were consulted when emergencies arose concerning public health. He was, for example, one of the expert consultants called to action in 1979 when the Three Mile Island nuclear accident occurred. Seymour was long affiliated with the Hiroshima-based Radiation Effects Research Foundation (RERF) (formerly known as the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission), a joint project of the Japanese and U.S. Governments, where he helped oversee and publish studies on the effects of the atomic bombs on human survivors. He lived and worked in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, for seven years, and served as Director and Chief of Research for RERF from 1986 to 1988 (and again in a leadership capacity from 1995 to 1996). In recognition of his contributions to science and the Japanese people, Dr. Abrahamson received a distinguished service award from the Emperor of Japan.

Jack was born on October 12, 1925 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. During WWII he served in the Royal Canadian Air Force and had just completed his training to deploy overseas when the war ended. Jack received his Bachelor's degree from the University of Toronto in 1949 and Master's degree in forestry from Yale University in 1950. Jack's graduate studies continued in the Department of Plant Pathology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and involved prevention of damping-off diseases of conifer seedlings. After receiving his Ph.D. in 1954, he joined the Canadian Science Service, stationed in New Brunswick. In 1957 Jack rejoined the Department of Plant Pathology as an assistant professor to become a member of the expanding group engaged in study of tree diseases. He also became a member of the UW-Madison Department of Forestry when it was established in 1962. After more than three decades of dedicated service to our university, Jack retired in 1989. Jack's program contributed both to the development of forest pathology as a science and to application of knowledge in the practice of forestry. He maintained active research on forest nursery seedling diseases caused by soil-borne fungi, thereby contributing greatly to reforestation and restoration of productive forests in a region still affected by the great cutover of the early 1900s. Additional early interests in highly productive, intensively managed clonal poplar plantations led Jack into the nascent field of forest tree virology. He and his students were among the first to isolate and characterize a series of poplar viruses and demonstrate effects on their host trees. Jack utilized tissue culture methods to remove viruses from clonal material for production of virus-free clones with superior characteristics. As part of a partnership between the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences and the U.S. Agency for International Development, Jack and his family traveled to Nigeria. There they spent three years, with Jack teaching in the Department of Plant Sciences, University of Ife, Ile-Ife. There he studied viruses of cassava, an important food crop in many tropical countries. Time in Nigeria was followed by a study leave at Oxford. Jack was a long-time teacher of forestry undergraduates with his Department of Entomology colleague Dan Benjamin. Their course, “Insects and Diseases in Forest Management,” or “Bugs and Crud” (as it was known to the students), provided learning opportunities in the classroom, laboratory, and field. Through this course Jack succeeded in his teaching goal, to facilitate a “change in behavior” of students who would go on to be the practitioners of forest pathology and manage our nation's forests. Graduate students mentored by Jack, and others on whose thesis committees he served, have suFaculty Document 2680 1 May 2017 Memorial Resolution of the Faculty of the University of Wisconsin-Madison On the Death of Professor Emeritus Robert F. Cole Robert F. Cole, Emeritus Professor of Music died peacefully in his sleep on December 23, 2016. He was 93 years old. Born in Erie, Pennsylvania, Professor Cole attended the prestigious Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, where the faculty was composed of many members of the Philadelphia Orchestra as well as other distinguished musicians. After a stint with the Coast Guard Band in World War II, he joined the Philadelphia Orchestra flute section in 1949 and played beside his teacher, William Kincaid. He performed on many Philadelphia Orchestra recordings under maestro Eugene Ormandy and also recorded a television series as a member of the Philadelphia Woodwind Quintet, principal wind players of the Philadelphia Orchestra. In particular, the quintet's recordings of the Sextet by Frances Poulenc with the composer playing piano and Samuel Barber's Summer Music are among the most significant recordings for quintet and represent the highest level of woodwind artistry. During the 1960's several top professional orchestral players left their positions to join music faculties at major universities, and Professor Cole was among them. In 1962 he joined the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Music to teach flute, chamber music and perform in the faculty woodwind quintet. He was instrumental in expanding the wind area of the School of Music to include renowned specialists in horn (John Barrows), clarinet (Glenn Bowen), and Richard Lottridge (bassoon). With the hiring of Professor Lottridge in 1965, the Wingra Quintet was established as faculty ensemble in residence in the School of Music (along with the Pro Arte String Quartet and later the Wisconsin Brass Quintet). The quintet's outreach mission, based on the Wisconsin Idea, enabled them to tour extensively within the state of Wisconsin and beyond. At one point, Professor Bowen estimated that the Wingra quintet had performed and taught students in no less than 90 percent of the counties of Wisconsin. The Wingra Quintet gained national recognition, and in a review of their Carnegie Recital Hall concert in 1980, New York Times music critic Peter G. Davis stated, “The performances were so smoothly integrated and technically polished that one was scarcely aware of the skilled discipline that motivated them…the performances were consistently sophisticated, sensitive, and thoroughly vital.” The Wingra Quintet also produced several recordings and Professor Cole was flutist in two of these recordings (Nielsen, Quintet, and Janacek, Youth Suite). Professor Cole brought the incomparable Philadelphia tradition of woodwind playing to his teaching, and many of his students are performing in orchestras and teaching in major schools of music. He played many seasons with the Madison Symphony Orchestra and taught at several music festivals around the country. He was a founding member of the National Flute AssociFaculty Document 2681 1 May 2017 Memorial Resolution of the Faculty of the University of Wisconsin-Madison On the Death of Professor Emeritus Jack C. Ferver Professor Emeritus Jack Calvin Ferver, passed away on January 2, 2017. He was born on October 16, 1920, in Waterford, Ohio and grew up in Greenfield, Pennsylvania along with two sisters, Janet and Mable. Jack Ferver's college career at Grove City College in Pennsylvania was interrupted after two years when he enlisted in the Army Air Corps' pilot training program. In 1943 he became a pilot and flew for four years. He was discharged from the Army Air Corp at the rank of Captain. 
 In 1948 he completed his undergraduate degree in Agricultural Education at the University of Maryland and was employed at what is now Michigan State University. He worked at MSU for 13 years, mostly as a County 4-H Club Agent, during which time he completed his master's degree in 1952. In 1961 he earned his doctorate degree at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. For his Ph.D. dissertation he conducted an analysis of the behavior of County Extension Directors as Coordinators of Community Development Programs. Professor Ferver became a faculty member in the School of Education's Department of Continuing and Vocational Education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1964. In addition to his teaching, his work included developing programs for Wisconsin field offices for the Extension Division. He also played an important role in the development of the Extension's programs in Performing Arts and Women's Education. Additionally he advised universities and government extension programs in Taiwan and Okinawa. During his time on the faculty he served as founding President of the Wisconsin Adult Education Association, served as President of the American Association of Adult and Continuing Education, and was inducted into the International Adult and Continuing Education Hall of Fame. He retired in 1986 as Emeritus Professor. After retiring from the University of Wisconsin he continued his writing and published three books on the religion of Humanism and Spirituality. Jack and his wife Dorothy, who passed in 2013, had five children, Scott Skare (Elise), Stacy Skare (Teresa), Cindy Ferver (JJ), Kent Ferver, and Jack W. Ferver (Jeremy), six grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. A Memorial Service and Celebration of Life was held on January 21, 2017 at Park Hall, in Sauk City, Wisconsin MEMORIAL COMMITTEE Jim Escalante, Peter GoffFaculty Document 2682 1 May 2017 Memorial Resolution of the Faculty of the University of Wisconsin-Madison On the Death of Professor Emeritus Hugh Hellmut Iltis Hugh Hellmut Iltis passed away peacefully at his home within the UW Arboretum on December 19, 2016 at the age of 91. Widely regarded as one of the most influential botanists of his generation, he continued to study plants and fight for environmental conservation to the end of his rich life. He joined the Botany faculty at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1955 as a plant taxonomist and curator of the UW-Madison (WIS) Herbarium. He served as a professor and Director of the Herbarium until retiring in 1993. Hugh Iltis was born April 7, 1925 in Brno, Czechoslovakia. His father, a biologist and biographer of Gregor Mendel, was targeted by the Nazis as an outspoken Jewish intellectual. He and then his family fled through Europe and eventually gained entrance to the United States with the help of Albert Einstein settling in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Hugh trained at the University of Tennessee and Washington University in St. Louis where he earned his PhD in 1952. During World War II, he enlisted in the U.S. Army and served in Europe until 1946 first as a medic and then in Army Intelligence, interrogating captured German officers for the Nuremberg trials. He was married three times, and is survived by four sons: Frank, Michael, David, and John. Iltis worked tirelessly to build the already respected University of Wisconsin Herbarium into the exceptional institution it is today. He and his students crisscrossed the state to collect thousands of specimens, documenting distributions of plant species across the Upper Midwest. He also led and oversaw innumerable expeditions to Mexico and Central and South America. On the altiplano of southern Peru he discovered two undescribed species of wild tomato, one of which provided genetic material to greatly improve commercial varieties. Iltis was also the world authority on the caper (Capparaceae) and spider-flower (Cleomaceae) families. However, he is best known for his role in helping to discover perennial teosinte, a wild diploid relative of modern maize, and elucidating the morphological changes that transformed such an unpromising wild grass into one of the most important crops in the world. He often finished lectures by admonishing his students to “be a good ancestor” and to leave the world a better place than they found it. When asked in a public lecture “what good is nature,” he retorted “what good are you?” Hugh's courses in plant geography, taxonomy, grass systematics, and lectures on ‘Man's Need for Nature' were wildly popular. He trained 37 graduate students. He established particularly strong relationships with botanists from Mexico and Latin America bringing many to study at UW–Madison (often providing free board and lodgings for weeks to months at his home). His work with colleagues at the University of Guadalajara led to the creation of the 345,000-acre Sierra de Manantlán Biosphere ReserUniversity of Wisconsin Madison FACULTY SENATE MINUTES 03 April 2017 Chancellor Rebecca Blank called the meeting to order at 3:32 p.m. with 140 voting members present (110 needed for quorum). Memorial resolutions were offered for Professor Emeritus Harald Næss (Faculty Document 2674) and Professor Emerita Dorothy Pringle (Faculty Document 2675). Chancellor Blank presided over the presentation of the 2016-2017 Hilldale Awards. The recipients are: Arts and Humanities Division: Henry John Drewal (Art History and Afro-American Studies), Biological Sciences Division: Kenneth Raffa (Entomology), Physical Sciences Division: John W. Valley (Geoscience), Social Sciences Division: David Weimer (Political Science and Robert M. La Follette School of Public Affairs). Chancellor Blank announced the opening of faculty elections to committees and encouraged everyone to vote. She also provided updates on the federal and state budget processes, lobbying and informational events with the state legislature and across the state, the upcoming audit of campuses' relations with foundations, and possible concealed carry legislation. Blank also welcomed the new dean of the Wisconsin School of Business and two new Regents, one of whom is a Madison alum. She concluded by noting that our campus post-tenure review policy would be considered by the Board of Regents later in the week. There were no questions or comments. The minutes of the meeting of March 6, 2017, were approved with amendment. Associate Professor Alan Rubel (School of Library and Information Studies) presented a proposal to change the name of the School of Library and Information Studies to the Information School (Faculty Document 2676). There were several questions and comments, one seeking clarification of the use of the term “information” and the others in support of the proposal. Professor Chad Goldberg (Sociology, District 71) moved adoption of a resolution calling for fair and equitable pay for Faculty Assistants (Faculty Document 2677). The motion was seconded. Several people including faculty members, Faculty Assistants, and one graduate student, spoke to the motion. Prof. Goldberg called the question. The motion to call the question passed by voice vote. The resolution passed by voice vote. The meeting was adjourned at 5:02 p.m. Steven K. Smith Secretary of the FacultyFaculty Document 2683 1 May 2017 Officer Education Committee Annual Report for 2016-2017 Military education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison dates from 1866 when the University became a Land Grant institution under the Morrill Land Grant Act of 1862. The Act required the teaching of “military science,” however, for many years it involved little more than a required drilling exercise for all male students. The National Defense Act of 1916 established the Reserve Officer Training Corp (ROTC) and a formal program of instruction augmented practice on the field. In 1923, military training became optional at the University. During World War II the University of Wisconsin continued its commitment to providing well- trained servicemen and women for the America's Armed Forces. In 1942, Regent President A. J. Glover, in his annual message to the University Alumni, bragged that twelve hundred sailors were enrolled in the radio code and communications school; 480 ‘Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service' (WAVES) were being trained as radio operators; an Institute of Correspondence Education for Army and Navy personnel was in operation and 2,600 students were enrolled in ROTC. For many decades the Old Red Gym served as the home for ROTC programs. Beginning in the early 1960's ROTC classes, and eventually the headquarters for all three units, were moved to other temporary facilities around campus. The temporary homes for ROTC Programs have changed numerous times over the years, even though the Army and Navy were assured by campus as early as the late 1940's that they would soon have new permanent headquarters. The University of Wisconsin – Madison has continued to meet its Land Grant obligation. Indeed, this is one of a few universities that offers students the opportunity to earn a commission in any of the three armed services. We host three departments: Military Science, Naval Science which includes the Marines and Aerospace Studies. The Regents' contracts with the services provide that each program has full departmental status and enjoys privileges comparable to those of other academic departments on campus. Faculty status is granted to the Commanding officers in the programs [Faculty Policies and Procedures (FPP) 1.02.-1.03.]. The Officer Education Committee [FPP 6.47] consists of the following members: The provost; eight faculty members, one of whom serves as the director of Officer Education Programs; and the commanders of the Officer Education Programs who are ex officio and nonvoting, in addition to four consultants. Its primary charge is to recommend policy relating to Officer Education Programs. The academic components of the Officer Education Program (OEP) operate under the supervision of the Officer Education Committee (OEC). Members of the committee are chosen from a wide range of departments and disciplines. The Committee on Committees is delegated to make the faculty appointments to the OEC. In addition to their other functions, the OEC examines, for approval, the qualifications of aFaculty Document 2684 1 May 2017 Advisory Committee for the Office for Equity and Diversity Annual Report for 2015-2016 Committee members: Parameswaran Ramanathan (chair), Catherine Stephens, Steffen Lempp, Thomas Browne, Steven Kosciuk, Pilar Ossorio, Kyung-Sum Kim, Tim Shedd, Audrey Tluczek, Stephanie Diaz de Leo, Veronia Sundal, Trenton Yadro, Nicole Galicia, Eduardo Munaiz. • The committee had meetings on September 18, 2015, October 16, 2015, November 18, 2015, February 19, 2016, and April 15, 2016. • At its September 18, 2015 meeting, the committee heard reports from Director of the Office for the Equity and Diversity. He reported that campus has created a new Office of Compliance and some of responsibilities may move to this new office. At that time, Ray Taffora was serving as Acting Director of the Office of Compliance. The committee discussed the issue of Conflict of Interest issues raised by this appointment. As Director of Office of Compliance he will be leading an office that will responsible for investigating compliance violations and as Chief Legal Officer for the campus, he will also be responsible for defending the University if such issues are not resolved internally. Although this dual role is not a violation of law, it raises several troubling issues. With Cathy Treuba's appointment as the Director of Office of Compliance the issue has become as less important. Nevertheless, the campus should be vigilant about the chain command from Office of Compliance to reduce perceptions of conflict to the maximum extent possible. • At its October 16, 2015, meeting Vice Provost Patrick Sims discussed the ongoing initiatives in his office. Since the Office of Equity and Diversity (OED) is under the purview of Vice Provost Sims, we discussed, at great length, the changing responsibilities of this office. o OED's responsibilities have been expanding since its founding in 1984. o Some of the current functions of OED include: Affirmative Action, Applicant Tracking, Accommodations Specialists, Compliance related to HiPPA, Title IX, FERPA, Open Records, ADA, Complaint Investigator, Outreach through Consultations, Graduate Assistant Equity Workshop, SACS, etc. o Vice Provost Sims initiated an internal review of OED in February 2015 and the review was complete in Summer 2015. o Vice Provost Sims is looking to revamp OED structure in light of the new Office of Compliance. • At its November 18. 2015 meeting, OED staff member Veronica Sundal described challenges of the Applicant Tracking and Employee Tracking. o Both of these activities are currently a manual process. However, a new software called PageUp is being considered. It may contain features to make Applicant Tracking more automated. o When it comes to faculty hiring, departments often use their own approach without relying of UW-Madison software. For example, all Mathematics departments in the US using a single site (mathjob.org) where potential candidates enter their applications. Unless that site contains the information needed for Applicant TFaculty Document 2685 1 May 2017 Committee on Faculty Rights and Responsibilities Annual Report for 2012-2016 I. Functions The functions of the committee are to serve as the review committee for nonrenewal appeals pursuant to Faculty Policies and Procedures (FPP) 7.10.; to serve as the hearing committee for appeals in discipline and dismissal cases in accordance with the provisions of FPP Chapter 9; and to serve as the hearing committee in cases of layoff due to financial emergency pursuant to FPP Chapter 10. II. Committee Activities 2012-13 Committee Activities The 2012-13 Committee on Faculty Rights and Responsibilities (CFRR) met once to consider an appeal of a nonrenewal decision, filed in April 2013. In this case, due to insufficient evidence, the CFRR dismissed (by a vote of 6 yes and 3 no) the assertion that required procedures were not followed. A motion to endorse the assertion that unfounded, arbitrary, or irrelevant assumptions of fact were made failed by a vote of 4 yes and 5 no. Therefore, by unanimous vote, the committee dismissed the appeal, without prejudice. The appellant refiled the appeal in June 2013; that resubmission is included below in the committee activities for 2013-14. 2013-14 Committee Activities The 2013-14 Committee on Faculty Rights and Responsibilities (CFRR) met once to consider the resubmission of an appeal dismissed without prejudice during the prior year. The CFRR concluded that this claim related specifically to treatment of a tenure clock extension request, and therefore was outside the procedural remedies available to the CFRR as provided by UWS 3.08 and FPP 7.10. In August 2013, the CFRR unanimously recommended that the chancellor request that the University Committee review the tenure clock extension request and reconsider whether an extension was appropriate. The CFRR further recommended, by a vote of 6 yes and 2 no, that in the event the University Committee determined that an extension was appropriate, that the probationary faculty member be evaluated for tenure by an ad hoc de novo tenure committee appointed by the University Committee per FPP 7.10.C. (The University Committee did approve the extension request upon review in September 2013 and in October 2013 appointed a de novo review committee. In March 2014, the de novo committee recommended promotion; in May 2014, the divisional committee also recommended promotion and promotion was granted by the Board of Regents in June 2014.) The 2013-14 CFRR also met two times to consider one other appeal of a nonrenewal decision. In this appeal, the committee found that the documentation submitted showed evidence supporting allegations of violations of UWS 3.08(1)(c)(1), that required procedures were not followed, but that no material prejudice resulted. The committee also found that the appellant failed to meet the burden of proof to support allegations of violations of UWS 3.08(1)(c)(2-3), with material prejudice to the appellant, that available data bearing materially on the quality of performance were not coFaculty Document 2686 1 May 2017 Report of Elections to UW-Madison Faculty Committees for 2017-2018 Presented by the Committee on Committees and the Divisional Committees Commission on Faculty Compensation and Economic Benefits Incoming members, 3 year terms Continuing members Randolph Ashton – Biomedical Engineering (2 nd term) Eric Sandgren – Pathobiological Sciences Jessica Weeks – Political Science (2 nd term) Randolph Ashton – Biomedical Engineering Amir Assadi – Mathematics Daniel Grabois – Music Bruce Thomadsen – Medical Physics Jessica Weeks – Political Science Jason Yackee – Law Committee on Faculty Rights and Responsibilities Incoming members, 3 year terms Continuing members Susan Lederer – History of Medicine (2 nd term) Mary Halloran – Zoology Adam Nelson – Educational Policy Studies Corinna Burger – Neurology Irwin Goldman – Horticulture Susan Lederer – History of Medicine Gloria Mari-Beffa – Mathematics Steven Nadler -- Philosophy Pilar Ossorio – Law Jennie Reed – Chemical & Biological Engineering Library Committee Incoming faculty members, 4 year terms Continuing faculty members Leema Berland – Curriculum & Instruction Alessandro Senes -- Biochemistry Cecile Ane – Botany Yang Bai – Physics Sabine Gross – German, Nordic, Slavic Eneida Mendonca – Biostatistics & Medical Informatics Catherine Arnott Smith – Library & Information Studies Sarah Thal - History University Committee Incoming members, 3 year terms Continuing members Steve Ventura – Soil Science Terry Warfield -- Business Rick Amasino – Biochemistry Barbara Bowers - Nursing Ruth Litovsky – Communication Sciences & Disorders Anja Wanner – English Committee on Committees Incoming elected member, 4 year term John Yin – Chemical Engineering Continuing members Naomi Chesler – Biomedical Engineering Ivy Corfis – Spanish & Portuguese Ron Gangnon – Population Health Sciences Noah Weeth Feinstein – Curriculum & Instruction Morton Ann Gernsbacher -- Psychology Michael Gould – Oncology Laura McClure – Classics -2- UW-Madison Fac Doc 2686 — 1 May 2017 Arts & Humanities Divisional Executive Committee Incoming members, 3 year terms Nevine El-Nossery – French & Italian Rania Huntington – Asian Languages & Cultures Marcelo Pellegrini – Spanish & Portuguese Mike Vandenheuvel – Classical and Near Eastern Studies Continuing members Robert Glenn Howard -- Communication Arts Florence Hsia -- History of Science Amaud Johnson -- English B.
