I. PURPOSE
This policy is created to detail process and guidelines for appointment and administration of committees, including meetings and the creation and publication of minutes at Motlow State Community College (Motlow State).
II. APPOINTMENT
All members of standing and ad hoc committees shall be appointed by the President. Committee members from the faculty are appointed upon the recommendation of the academic deans and the Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs. Student members are appointed upon the nomination of the Student Government Association with the concurrence of the Executive Vice President for Student Success. When appropriate, the President may select members upon the recommendation of the respective councils.
The committees considered necessary for the welfare of Motlow State are standing committees, which can be formed and/or dissolved by the President’s initiative as needed or mandated. Ad hoc committees may also be formed by the President as they become necessary or desirable. Upon organization of committees for the academic year, a listing of the members for each committee will be supplied to each faculty and staff member.
III. PRESENTING ITEMS OF BUSINESS TO STANDING COMMITTEES
All standing committees meet regularly, and meeting dates are announced. Any interested faculty or staff member is encouraged to attend any committee meeting. Faculty and staff members are encouraged to present pertinent items of business for any committee agenda. These should be in written form and presented to the committee chair or any committee member prior to the meeting date. When a proposed item of business is considered inappropriate for committee action, the faculty or staff member will receive a response from the designated committee chair.
IV. Minutes
The secretary of each committee is responsible for the recording of minutes at all official meetings of the standing committees and for distributing those minutes to faculty and staff as appropriate.
