Each department has an Executive Committee, consisting of all full-time members of the department who are tenured Professors or tenured Associate Professors, and as determined by the Executive Committee at the time of appointment with tenure, any person holding a part-time appointment as a tenured Professor or tenured Associate Professor, provided that this rule shall not be construed to withdraw any membership understandings or arrangements in effect at the time this rule was adopted, and provided further that all persons holding multiple or part-time appointment as a tenured Professor or tenured Associate Professor shall be entitled to membership in at least one (1) Executive Committee.
Members of the Executive Committee who are on leave may participate in its decisions insofar as participation is feasible in the judgment of the Executive Committee.
The Executive Committee may designate a member of the committee to serve as secretary and determine the duties of the position.
No member of the Executive Committee of a department or non-departmentalized school shall take part in the discussion or vote on any matter while serving as Chancellor, Provost, Vice Chancellor, Dean, Associate Dean, Assistant Dean, Division-level Director, or Assistants to such administrative officers. This rule shall not preclude an Executive Committee’s electing to confer or consult with any administrative officer on any matter, nor shall it preclude an administrative officer’s attending any open meeting of any Executive Committee.
