ECPS Department Committees

The number, size and function of committees may change with the needs of the Department. Members on committees represent the entire Department rather than specific fields or special interest groups. Prior to each election the Head shall ask for nominations and volunteers. All Assistant Professors, Associate Professors, Professors, and full time instructors will be considered candidates for committees. Minutes of all committee meetings will be kept on file in the Department. It is understood that the Department is a committee of the whole. All committee recommendations concerning departmental policies, practices, and procedures will be presented to the voting members for consideration and discussion. To be implemented, such recommendations must receive a majority vote at a Department meeting. Recommendations submitted to the voting members at one meeting will not be voted upon until the next regular Department meeting unless this rule is waived by two-thirds of the voting members in attendance.
