Policy
Prior to the start of the academic year, each eligible department housing an "advanced" program shall elect, through a process of its own selection, one representative for each eligible program. A single individual may represent multiple programs, in which case the individual shall be eligible to cast a number of votes equal to the number of programs represented. The department head shall report to the dean of the College of Education the person elected and the program(s) represented by that person.
(Note: the intention has been to have the terms represented by half the programs expire each year. Thereafter, approximately half the programs will have a new term start each year. However, the staggered term arrangement was never completely implemented and steps need to be taken to clarify which programs are on "even year to even year" terms and which programs are on "odd year to odd year" terms.)
If, in the middle of a representative's term, the program represented shall no longer be eligible for representation on this committee, the member's term shall expire effective with the time that the program is no longer eligible.
If a representative resigns from the committee or leaves the university in midterm, the person selected as a replacement shall serve the remainder of the original term, rather than for a full two-year period.
A quorum shall consist of one more than half the number of programs represented on the committee. In the event that a person is a representative of multiple programs, she/he shall count multiple times toward a quorum.
