Faculty Senate selects chair at first meeting
By Alicia Nierenstein | anierenstein@flagler.edu
Flagler’s newly established Faculty Senate is officially operating under the new by-laws of their constitution.
Dr. Arthur Vanden Houten, a professor in the liberal studies department, will preside as chair of the Faculty Senate and Barbara Blonder, a professor in the math department, will serve as the vice chair.
“This is the first time in Flagler history that we [the faculty] have had the opportunity for shared governance, which is significant,” Blonder said. “At least equally significant is Dr. Abare’s support of this endeavor.”
