The officers of the T-Faculty Senators Council shall consist of a Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary, Past Chair, Past Vice Chair, Past Secretary, and the Chair-elect, which together shall comprise the Executive Committee.

All meetings of the Tenured/Tenure Track Faculty Senators Council are conducted in accordance with Robert’s Rules of Order.
The Secretary shall bear the ultimate responsibility for the minutes.

Nominations

Nominating Committee: The Executive Committee shall appoint a Nominating Committee at the start of the fall semester to consist of 3 members of the Council in the second year of their first terms or the first or second year of any successive terms.
The Nominating Committee for the election of the Chair and the election of Vice Chair and Secretary shall also include, as an ex-officio non-voting member, the current Chair of the Council.
