Gerry Philipsen, professor of communication, has been appointed by President Emmert as secretary of the faculty. He succeeds Donna Kerr.
Philipsen has been at the UW since 1978 and received a Distinguished Teaching Award in 1984. He served as chair of the Faculty Senate in 1999-2000.
His term of office ends Aug. 15. 2008. The Faculty Senate is considering legislation that, if adopted, would make the secretary of the faculty a position elected by the Senate Executive Committee and confirmed by the Senate.
