8.1. The Advisory Committee<br />
8.1.1. Function <strong>of</strong> the Advisory Committee<br />
The primary function <strong>of</strong> the Advisory Committee shall be to provide Faculty representation on<br />
planning <strong>and</strong> budget issues. In addition, the Advisory Committee shall function as general<br />
advisor to the <strong>Department</strong> Administration, shall initiate, promote, <strong>and</strong> stimulate study <strong>and</strong> action<br />
dealing with <strong>and</strong> looking toward solutions <strong>of</strong> problems concerning the welfare <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Department</strong>,<br />
shall act as advocate(s) for the Faculty in ways authorized by the Faculty, <strong>and</strong> shall investigate<br />
matters <strong>of</strong> concern to the <strong>Department</strong> upon the request <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Department</strong> Head or a Member <strong>of</strong><br />
the Faculty.<br />
8.1.2. Policies <strong>and</strong> Operating Procedure<br />
Many <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Department</strong> policies <strong>and</strong> operating procedures are dictated by The University <strong>and</strong> the<br />
College. Important policies <strong>and</strong> operating procedures peculiar to the <strong>Department</strong> should be<br />
defined by the Faculty as a whole. The <strong>Department</strong> Head <strong>and</strong> the Advisory Committee shall<br />
define those items to be brought to the Faculty.<br />
8.1.3. Composition<br />
The Advisory Committee shall consist <strong>of</strong> four Members. Two <strong>of</strong> the committee members shall<br />
be appointed by the Head. The remaining committee members shall be elected from among all<br />
the Members by the Members. Each member shall serve a two-year term. Terms shall be<br />
staggered with one (or two) new member(s) elected or appointed each year. Reelection or<br />
reappointment is possible; however, after two terms <strong>of</strong> continuous service, membership is not<br />
possible for at least two years.<br />
The elected members will be elected from a pool <strong>of</strong> c<strong>and</strong>idates who are willing to serve. An ad<br />
hoc election committee will present eligible c<strong>and</strong>idates to the faculty by first determining if there<br />
are any faculty who may be unable or unwilling to serve.<br />
At the discretion <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Department</strong> Head, the Associate <strong>Department</strong> Head(s) may also be<br />
appointed as ex-<strong>of</strong>ficio member(s) <strong>of</strong> the Advisory Committee. The <strong>Department</strong> Head may<br />
appoint a member-at-large to achieve a better balance, more representative <strong>of</strong> the department as a<br />
whole.<br />

The <strong>Department</strong> Head is required to meet with the Advisory Committee when at least two<br />
members <strong>of</strong> the Committee request a meeting.<br />

The members <strong>of</strong> the Committee shall designate a Committee member to take minutes <strong>of</strong> each<br />
meeting. The <strong>Department</strong> Head shall be responsible for maintaining a file <strong>of</strong> transcribed minutes<br />
for inspection by the Faculty. Copies <strong>of</strong> resolutions <strong>and</strong> other actions that affect changes in<br />
general policy shall be distributed by the <strong>Department</strong> Head to all Faculty, <strong>and</strong> kept in a<br />
<strong>Department</strong>al file for inspection by the same.<br />
