ABSTRACTS OF the MINUTES OF SENATE MEETINGS are posted here.
Browse the abstracts to locate the information you require. If you are on campus and can access the SSU-5 server, you can view the complete minutes for the Senate. Executive Committee minutes are also on the SSU-5 server, but are not abstracted. The archive on SSU-5 begins with Fall 2000. Keep reading for more information about the SSU-5 server.
The Senate is now digital!
Digital recording of Senate and Executive Committee meetings are available now on the SSU-5 server.
For PC users. if you do not already have a shortcut to or access to the SSU-5 server, Choose START, then RUN, then type in \\SSU-5 and press enter. At the SSU-5 server site, you will see a site for the Academic Senate.
From a Mac, first you will need to get a username and password for the SSU-5 server from the Help Desk in IT. Then in the Finder under GO select CONNECT TO SERVER. In the window that comes up for SERVER ADDRESS type afp://ssu-5. Click connect. You will get a log in screen. Enter your user name and password. A list of servers will come up - choose Academic Senate. A window of the Academic Senate server site will open.
On the Academic Senate site are two folders labeled Executive Committee Minutes and Senate Meeting Minutes. Those two folders are accessible to anyone on sonoma.edu. Inside the folders are the electronic minutes of meetings back to 2000. Look in the Spring 2005 folders of the Senate and Executive minutes. The folders with date labels such as Senate4_28_05 are the digital recordings. Inside that folder double click on the SoniClearPlayer.html doc. DO NOT OPEN ANY OTHER FILE IN THAT FOLDER PLEASE. SoniClearPlayer.html doc will open any web browser on your machine and display and play the meeting recording with time stamped agenda items. Your browser needs to have a flash plug-in. It's very cool.
The first two recordings do not have good quality sound, but beginning with the Executive Committee meeting of 5/5 the sound is vastly improved.
If you have any problems or questions accessing the digital archive of the Senate, please contact the Senate office at X42801 or email laurel.holmstrom@sonoma.edu or stop by ST1071.

Earlier minutes may or may not be in an electronic format.
