At its meeting of May 15, 2006, the Academic Senate passed the following Policy Recommendation presented by Senator Parsons for the Organization and Government Committee.

POLICY RESOLUTION

BY-LAW AMENDMENT

SPECIAL AGENCIES—NOMINATION

OF FACULTY-AT-LARGE

Whereas        By-Law 10.3 a) presently requires that the Committee on                                                           Committees nominate faculty-at-large members of special                                                        agencies, and

Whereas        the policies creating several special agencies presently make                                      different provisions for such nominations, and

Whereas        reconciliation of these conflicting provisions is required, and

Whereas        the nature of special agencies often requires flexibility in selection

                        of their members, now, therefore, be it

Resolved        That By-Law 10.3 a) be amended by changing the first letter of the                                           first words “At-large” to lower case, and insert before them “Unless                                      otherwise provided in the policy creating the special agency,”.

Approved:                  April 10, 2006
