The University of Iowa Faculty Senate agreed Tuesday to hold a special meeting in the next two weeks to discuss Provost Wallace Loh’s six strategic task forces.

After some concern that the topic was not discussed in detail, the Senate will devote an entire meeting to the reports, President David Drake said. Senators were advised to read the reports and become familiar with the suggestions made in each.

Several senators said that the reports will likely influence the future of the university, something they believe should be a faculty concern.

The Senate agreed unanimously to hold the meeting in the next two weeks.
