E. FACULTY MEETINGS

Startup faculty meetings will be held quarterly or when the need arises.  The leading administrator with responsibility for academics will serve as chair.

Regular faculty business meetings (more than 12 full-time faculty members) will be held at regularly scheduled times,  normally once each month during the academic year. A simple majority of the voting  faculty membership (excluding faculty who are on leave) will constitute a quorum. Special business meetings may be called by the President or Academic Dean or by the faculty chair. Topics for regular faculty meetings will be determined by the Faculty Executive Committee (FEC).

Special meetings may also be called upon request of 25% of the faculty (defined as select faculty). Special meetings require a written notice to all faculty members. A presiding faculty member or administrator must be designated by the select faculty.  A simple majority of the voting faculty membership (excluding faculty who are on leave) will constitute a quorum. An agenda will be prepared and distributed in advance by the presiding faculty member or administrator.

 Additional meetings of the faculty for faculty forums may be scheduled at other times.
