Legislation of the Faculty Concerning Representation to the Board of Trustees

 [Adopted on April 8, 1997]

On February 18, 1992, the faculty approved legislation providing for the representation of the faculty to the Board of Trustees. On May 24, 1995, the faculty approved a resolution for the continuation of such representation. Following the September 1996 reorganization of committees of the Board of Trustees, the faculty adopted the following resolution for continued representation:

 Be it resolved:

A. That the vice chair of the Advisory Committee of the Academic Council shall be a voting member of the Campus Affairs Committee of the Board of Trustees.

B. That a faculty member of the Educational Policy Committee (normally the chair) shall be a voting member of the Campus Affairs Committee of the Board of Trustees.

C. That a faculty member of the Student Affairs Committee (normally the chair) shall be a voting member of the Campus Affairs Committee of the Board of Trustees.

D. That the chair of the faculty shall be a voting member of the Finance Committee of the Board of Trustees.

E. That the vice chair of the faculty shall be a voting member of the University Relations Committee of the Board of Trustees.

F. That the faculty shall elect a sixth faculty member to serve as a voting member of a trustee committee. The specific committee assignment will be made by the chair of the faculty prior to the election, which will usually be held in the spring term preceding the year of service. The chair and vice chair of the faculty, acting as a nominating committee, will prepare a slate of three candidates; the election will be by approval balloting.

G. That in the event of a request for faculty representation on ad‑hoc committees of the Board of Trustees, the chair of the faculty, in consultation with the vice chair, may ask any of these six representatives to serve; such appointments shall be reported at the next faculty meeting.
