University Senate

3335-5-44 Constituent bodies of the senate.

Subject only to the provisions listed below in this paragraph, the representatives to the senate of the administration, of the faculty, and the students shall have the right to meet separately and to organize themselves in whatever manner they shall deem appropriate. As far as the senate is concerned, these bodies represent separate memberships. They may initiate proposals and submit them to the university senate for consideration. The senate, however, shall be independent of these bodies, and its actions shall not need their concurrence nor be subject to their review.

(A) The members of the administration shall designate to the program committee one person or officer responsible for submitting to the senate those proposals and recommendations which come in the name of the administration.

(B) The elected faculty representatives to the senate shall constitute the faculty council. The faculty council shall designate to the program committee one person or officer responsible for submitting to the senate those proposals and recommendations which come in the name of the faculty council.

(C) The student representatives to the senate shall designate to the program committee one person or officer from the undergraduate student government, the council of graduate students, and the inter-professional council, to be responsible for submitting to the senate those proposals and recommendations which come from those respective groups.

(D) Nothing in the above shall be construed as restricting the right of a principal standing committee or of individual members speaking for themselves to submit proposals for senate action to the program committee, or directly to the senate. (B/T 7/7/72, B/T 7/21/78, B/T 2/1/80, B/T 2/7/86, B/T 4/4/97)
