Faculty Standing Committees

The number following the name indicates years of consecutive service on that committee up through 2008-2009 year, which will end on June 30, 2009. If that number is 1-5 then that person may again serve on that committee during the 2009-2010 fiscal year. Typically people serve 3-year terms with a maximum of 2 consecutive terms, but there is nothing in the by-laws, which indicates a person must serve a 3-year term. If the number is 6 then that person may not serve on that committee during the 2009-2010 year as indicated in the Faculty by-laws under III, B, 4 sub-part a. 3). The Dean appoints the Chair of the committee and the committee will elect the secretary of the committee. Each committee serves from July 1st to June 30th. The Ex Officio members of the committees are non-voting members, and may be represented on committees by an appointee of the Ex Officio member.
