Ad Hoc Committees and Task Forces

ADD: to the Faculty Handbook under Section 10.7, page 193, after the first paragraph:

For the Faculty Senate to be aware of ad hoc committees and task forces in the campus community, each university-wide committee/task force must follow the procedure below:

1. On formation of the committee/task force, the Chair of that entity must notify the FWDC of the Faculty Senate of the objectives, membership and anticipated length of service of the group.

2. At the time of its formation, the committee/task force must identify a finite time limit.

3. If the committee/task force exists beyond a two year limit, it must convert to a standing committee or disband.
