CAS Governance Committee
Responsibilities of the CAS Governance Committee include:
 Shall prepare a slate of candidates for each standing committee and faculty
senate vacancy, and conduct the election to fill such vacancies.
 May recommend additional college faculty meetings to the Dean as needed.
 May consider any governance issue not covered under the purview of
another standing committee if requested to do so by a voting member of the
college faculty or the college dean.
Special notes for the CAS Governance Committee:
 Elections should be held in the spring. Please review college bylaws on the
CAS website to find the voting members definition, makeup of committees,
etc.
 Bylaws need to be updated (but this requires a college vote) to change
Faculty Senate elections – those are being done by the Faculty Senate
themselves not by the colleges anymore.
