11:24:00 General Policies for College Committees


Revision Responsibility: Executive Council
Responsible Executive Officer:            President                                                                                                                  

Membership

Membership on committees is as stated on the individual committee information page in this Handbook.  Also, for the purpose of definition, “faculty” members appointed or elected to a committee shall be full-time faculty members who do not have administrative responsibility (such as division deans and department heads).

 


Election of Faculty Members by Academic Division

When faculty representation is determined by academic divisions, each division dean should ensure that the chosen representative has been elected by ballot or consensus of all faculty members associated with that division.  Appointments to committee positions by division deans are discouraged.


Minutes

Each committee chair is responsible for the work of his/her committee including the recording and maintaining copies of the minutes in their office.  The College Advisory Council and Committee Handbook will be maintained in the President’s Office and shall be available for viewing on the college’s intranet website.


Recommendations

Committee recommendations must be forwarded in memo or letter format to the President through the appropriate official for final approval.


Establishment of Committees

Other committees may be established by a member of the Executive Council for his/her respective area of responsibility subject to the approval of the President.  Normally, additional committees are subcommittees or ad hoc committees of existing principal committees to the extent that they submit reports or recommendations to one of these major committees.  The membership of subcommittees or ad hoc committees is not, however, restricted to those who are members of the major committees.

Exceptions to these policies may be made by the President.
