By Brooke Schwartz Administration Reporter | @brookesch_wartz

Members of the Council on Academic Af- fairs attended the Faculty Senate meeting on Tuesday to continue a larger discussion on shared governance and how it applies to Eastern’s organizations. At their last meeting, the Faculty Senate discussed the possibility that their bylaws could make them the overseers all committees on campus. This was something the Higher Learning Commission looked at in its 2014 report on Eastern, which noted the lack of communication between the governing bodies on campus. The Council on Academic Affairs discussed in its meeting last Thursday that they believed it would be inefficient and prob- lematic to have the Faculty Senate make all final decisions on campus. CAA member Rebecca Throneburg, a communication disorders and sciences professor, said she has seen examples of how shared governance already affects decisions made about campus affairs back in 2015. It was that year that Throneburg was on a committee looking at general education courses, as another concern voiced by the Higher Learning Committee in 2014 was that there was not a body looking at these. “We had a (general education) model that we thought we were going to approve at the end of 2015,” Throneburg said. Though the committee went around to 16 other groups and thought this model would be approved, it was not. “This is one of the concerns about shared governance,” Throneburg said. “In March … of 2015, … after all that work, Faculty Senate said, ‘Well, we want to referendum BROOKE SCHWARTZ | THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS and ask the faculty to vote if they support Teshome Abebe is an economics professor and is also a member of the Faculty Senate.

The Charleston Community Theatre will host a murder mystery dinner with a theater twist at 6 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Feb. 2 and Feb. 3 at What’s Cookin’. According to a press release, seven actors will play the core characters on all four evenings. Those who attend and want to participate will also be assigned a character, given a description of that character and be able to dress according to the theme and act the part. However, they are not required to do so. Gail Mason, the co-producer of the performance, said in a press release that the event is dinner and theater with a twist. “Participants don’t watch the theater. They star in it and can affect the outcome,” she said in the release. “People are invited to come in costume, ham it up, mingle with the other characters and figure out the clues throughout the evening.” The performance, “Murder at the Hop” is set in the 1950’s, and focuses on the fictional Hank Headly, a fa- JORDAN BOYER | THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS mous rock star who returns to his small town for the Students in the MBA program and business administration majors Tshawnda Kitchen (left), Mike Epperson (middle) and premiere performance of his hit single, “Ain’t Nothin’ Sarah Lustig (right) work on a group project for their marketing class Tuesday night at Lumpkin Hall.
