Whereas:        Current Senate by-laws require special agencies to submit annual reports to a policy
                      committee designated by the Executive Committee, and

Whereas:        The Executive Committee decided at its meeting of September 15, 1997 that it did not
                      wish to permanently designate a policy committee for each special agency, but rather
                      preferred to receive the annual reports and distribute them to policy committees as
                      deemed appropriate, therefore be it

Resolved:       That Academic Senate by-laws be modified as follows:
 

9.3     The following shall apply to all special agencies:

        a)      At-large faculty members shall be nominated by the Committee on Committees

        b)      In addition to any reports required by its policy, each special agency shall make an information report annually to the Executive Committee.  The Executive Committee shall, at its discretion, refer this report to appropriate policy committee/s.  The report shall summarize the agency's activities for the preceding year.

        c)      A special agency may consult with any appropriate policy committee on any matter of common concern.

        d)      Special agency recommendations requiring changes in university policy recommended originally by the Senate shall be reported to the Executive Committee for recommendation to the Senate.
