In order to consolidate hitherto separate functions, to coordinate issuing
invitations to distinguished visitors to campus, and to enhance the repu-
tation of the University of North Carolina at Asheville, the Senate
establishes the Distinguished Scholar Committee.

The committee has the following duties:

1.  To make recommendations to and to assist the Chancellor in selection
    of commencement speakers.

2.  To select the person invited to be visiting Breman Professor of
    Social Relations, and to arrange for the visit.

3.  To select the Highsmith Distinguished Visiting Scholar and to arrange
    for the residency.

4.  To make a nomination to the Chancellor annually or when advisable for
    a recipient of the Oliver Max Garner Award, a distinction granted yearly
    by the Board of Governors to that faculty member on one of the sixteen
    state campuses who has "made the greatest contribution to the welfare of
    the human race" during the year.

5.  To consider sponsorship of other scholars who may from time to time be
    available for temporary university duties.

Membership on the committee shall be selected as follows:  The Senate shall
elect four full professors from the faculty at large, after which the
Chancellor shall appoint three members drawn from the full-time teaching
faculty, one from each division.

Terms of office are for two years, except that in the first year the newly
constituted committee shall draw lots to select four members for terms of
one year.  Service on the committee begins at the first faculty meeting
of the Fall semester, and runs to the same time of the following year.

The committee shall report to the Senate annually, and shall deposit copies
of any minutes in the Senate file.
