Agenda

Article IV. The Agenda Committee

“There shall be an Agenda Committee consisting of a Vice Chancellor or a Vice President designated by the Chancellor and fifteen other members of the Senate to be elected by the Senate. Eleven of the fifteen shall be chosen from the faculty and staff, three from the student representatives, and one from among the ex officio members. Of the eleven persons representing the faculty, the staff, and the ex officio members of the Senate, no more than four may be from one college or school (with a preference of having members representing as many unique areas as possible); up to three shall be elected in one year, three the next, and three (including the representative of the ex officio members) in the third year. The fourteen elected members shall serve for a term of three years beginning on August 15 following their election. They may not succeed themselves after completing a full three-year term. Vacancies in the Committee shall be filled by Senate election at the next meeting after a vacancy occurs. Students elected to fill vacancies shall be deemed to be filling new three-year terms, beginning on August 15 of the academic year in which they take office. Otherwise, elected replacements shall serve the remainder of the terms vacated. In all elections of members of this Committee, nominations shall be made to the Senate by the Agenda Committee. The number of nominations shall be greater than the number of vacancies; additional nominations may be made from the floor. The Committee annually shall elect its chairperson for the upcoming year from its own membership in the Spring.”
