FACULTY SENATE COMMITTEES

 

GOVERNANCE AND OPERATIONS

 

Charge:

 

Review annually the Senate bylaws and prepare recommendations (resolutions) for revisions of and additions to the bylaws.  Serve as a nominating committee (to the Senate) for faculty membership on all Senate committees and Senate offices.  Conduct Senate elections.  That includes obtaining members’ names, preparing ballots, requesting candidates for chairs of committees, etc.  Preparations of all election material (both university and Senate) should be completed prior to the last Senate meeting of the spring semester.  Conduct faculty elections to university committees.  That includes screening candidates to appear on ballots following rules applicable to the individual committees.  Requests for membership from faculty to university committees should be collected by April 1 and ballots prepared for the election meeting of the Senate.  A senator may need to be placed ex officio on a university committee if there is not other Senate representation on that committee.  Designate a senator to act as liaison with each university committee.   This senator would be ex officio unless he/she were elected by the senate as the faculty member to that committee.   Maintain an updated roster of all Senate and university committees and distribute to all faculty in the university.  Conduct an annual review of the governance system of the university and make recommendations for needed change.
