Plenary Meetings of the Faculty
Each year the Speaker of the Faculty Senate will convene a minimum of three
plenary meetings of the university faculty. In the fall semester, one shall
occur when the Speaker invites the President to make a "State of the University"
address. Additionally, the Speaker
will convene regular plenary meetings to receive reports from the Dean of Undergraduates, the Dean of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, the Registrar, and when necessary,
the University Committee for Examinations and Standing Committee, to approve the
candidates for graduation.
The speaker, with the approval of the Executive Committee, or the president
may call additional regular meetings of the university faculty in plenary
session to serve as sounding boards on important, transcendent issues affecting
the university. Any votes taken at such regular meetings would be advisory to
the Senate. In addition, a petition signed by fifty voting members of the
faculty shall require the speaker to convene a special meeting of the university
faculty in plenary session to discuss a specific matter.
