Procedures for Faculty Senate
Initiated Policy Proposals
The purpose of the procedures is to establish clear guidelines for the development of COE policy through the collaboration of the faculty and administration. These procedures are not designed for policy proposals initiated by School Directors, Associate Deans or the Dean of the College of Education.
- A policy proposal from the COE Faculty Senate must have the support of a two thirds majority of the Senate before it is sent to the Dean. The policy proposal will include a rationale for the proposal in writing. The President of the Faculty Senate will present the proposal to the School Directors, Associate Deans, and the Dean and answer questions related to the proposal.
- The Dean shall provide a written response to the Senate regarding the policy proposal no later than two months following receipt in the Dean's office.
- If the policy proposal is accepted by the Dean, the Dean signs a copy of the policy proposal making it COE policy. The President of the Faculty Senate sees to it the approved policy is then placed on the COE web site by the Office of Information Technology and linked to the Faculty Senate web site as approved policy.
- If the Dean modifies the proposal the Senate may accept the modified version or may vote to create an ad hoc committee to negotiate with the Dean to further revise the proposal. In the case of the Dean rejecting the proposal the Senate may vote to create an ad hoc committee to negotiate with the Dean in an effort to reach a compromise.
