ad hoc Faculty Senate and College Committees

The establishment of ad hoc Faculty Senate and College Committees stems from formal approval by the Faculty Senate or by request of the College administration to the Speaker of the Faculty. According to the by-laws stated in the Faculty/Administration Manual (commonly known as the FAM), the Speaker will receive requests from the College administration to form ad hoc Faculty Senate and College committees to deal with matters not within the purview of any standing committees (see Article V), and will take steps to establish such committees (see Article V, Section 4). Also, the Faculty Senate may establish and instruct ad hoc committees, like any other permanent Senate committee, as may be necessary for the performance of its functions and elect or provide for the members of the committees in accordance with the by-laws.
