Membership
A tenured faculty member from each academic department, including the Library. Normally,
this will be the elected, tenured Chair of each department. However, if none is available
(e.g., in the event of a non-elected Chair appointed by the President, a non-tenured
Chair, or in other extenuating circumstances), it will be a tenured faculty member
of the department elected by the tenured and probationary faculty of the department.
If a department has no tenured faculty, a probationary faculty member may be elected
by the department. The term of these non-chair members shall be three years or when
replaced by a Department Chair who can serve, whichever is shorter.
Two members appointed by the Senate for three-year terms. The terms will be staggered
by one year.
