Executive Committee
At the final meeting of each academic year, the Senate shall constitute an Executive Committee for the following academic year. The Senate Executive Committee shall have seven voting members: the Senate Past Chair, the Senate Chair, the Senate Vice Chair, the Budget and Benefits Committee Chair, a Chair of the Joint Committee on Curriculum and Academic Programs (selected by that committee), an at-large Senator, and an additional Senator from among its number. When seeking to fill the at-large and general seats on the Executive Committee, the Senate will strive for representation from as many colleges and schools as possible. In instances when more than one Senator has been nominated for either the at-large or general seat on the Executive Committee, the Senate shall use a secret ballot to decide who will serve. The Provost and the Dean of Academic Affairs are ex officio non-voting members of the Senate Executive Committee. The Senate Chair has the discretion to invite any person to attend an Executive Committee meeting and to speak within limits set by the committee. Guests may not vote. The Senate Executive Committee has the right by majority vote to go into executive session. When an executive session is voted, all non-voting Committee members and guests must leave the meeting place unless invited to stay by majority vote.
Among the duties of the Faculty Senate Executive Committee are the following: (1) setting the Senate’s agenda, (2) bringing motions to the Senate on its own initiative, (3) informing the faculty when nominations are due for Senate elections and making reasonable efforts to ensure that there are the appropriate number of nominees for each election, (4) nominating faculty subject to Senate ratification to serve as faculty representatives on committees of the Board of Trustees, (5) maintaining liaison with all Senate committees, and (6) providing minutes for Executive Committee meetings.
