M. The Hearing Committee
Membership of the committee shall consist of nine full-time
tenured faculty members who are not department
chairpersons. The members shall be chosen by the Committee
on Faculty Committees after all other committees have been
chosen regardless of committee or senate membership. Terms of
membership shall be three years, staggered so that three
members retire and are replaced every year. Each member of the
committee shall have a first alternate and a second alternate,
chosen for a concurrent term. The alternates will serve in case of
resignation (so as to complete the three-year term) or as a
temporary replacement for a member who is unable to serve or
who is disqualified from a hearing through procedures
established by the committee. An IAS Liaison shall serve as a
non-voting consultant in a case involving an IAS member. The
committee shall elect its chairperson and a secretary to keep an
official record of proceedings.
