Articles & By-laws Committee
From: Steve Senger, Chair
Faculty Senate
This memo is intended to serve as the initial charge letter to the Articles & By-laws Committee
for the 2011-2012 academic year. Please see the revised standing committee page for reference
to the committee bylaws and previous charges and reports
(http://www.uwlax.edu/FacultySenate/FacultyCommittees/FacultyCommitteesIndex.htm).
Per Faculty Senate Bylaw II. (s): “Each faculty committee shall hold an organizational meeting
and report the name of the chairperson to the senate office by October 1. (Joint Chairpersons are
not permitted.)”
Therefore, as the convener of the Articles & By-laws Committee, please arrange, as soon as
feasible, an organizational meeting. In addition to a chairperson, please also elect a secretary.
Primary responsibilities of the chairperson include:
• promptly informing the Senate office (5-8018) the results of the election of officers
and any changes in committee membership.*
• organizing and conducting meetings
• completing a year end report on the Articles & By-laws Committee activities to be
submitted to the Senate Office no later than May 31, 2012.
*The committee chairperson should carefully review Faculty Senate Bylaw II, “Faculty Standing
Committees” for information on committee attendance and the role of alternates.
Primary responsibilities of the secretary include:
• recording minutes of each meeting.
• promptly sending approved meeting minutes to Sibbie Weathers
(sweathers@uwlax.edu) so that they can be posted on the committee website
In the event the committee chooses to rotate secretarial duties, please designate one person to be
responsible for e-mailing the meeting minutes to Sibbie Weathers.
We will continue to use Posterous for both meeting announcements and reporting of meeting
minutes. Committee chairs are responsible for including the Posterous address
(post@fscommittees.posterous.com) on meeting announcements. This will satisfy the Open
Meetings requirements. Committee secretaries are responsible for sending minutes to both
Sibbie and the Posterous site.
In addition to the committee's normal duties, I ask that the committee consider and report on the
following special charges:
•
•
Review the bylaw updates proposed by TEGC (attached) and forward to Senate revised
bylaws for approval.
The current Ad Hoc Academic Technology Committee will be proposing bylaws to
govern the committee as it becomes a regular standing committee. Review and revise the
proposed bylaws and forward to Senate for approval.
Other specific charges may be assigned to the committee during the academic year as the result
of Senate action.
If you have any questions about the charges, please feel free to contact me.
Finally, if the Senate Executive Committee or I can assist your committee in any way during the
year, please do not hesitate to ask.
