BOARD RESOLUTION PROVIDES FOR FACULTY REPRESENTATION ON STANDING COMMITTEES

The Board of Visitors yesterday approved a resolution calling for faculty representation on the board's four standing committees: Academic and Research Advancement, Administration and Finance, Institutional Advancement and Student Advancement.

The resolution, which was recommended to the full board by the Academic and Research Advancement Committee, states, "The Board of Visitors supports the president's desire to include a faculty representative as a member of each of its four standing committees in order to further its goals."

The resolution stipulates that the "administration develop a process, set criteria and recommend, in consultation with the Faculty Senate, persons to serve as non-voting representatives to standing committees."

Faculty representative terms will be for two years, according to the resolution, and representatives will not be able to participate in the committees' closed sessions. None of the four faculty members will serve on the full board.
