Section II - Faculty Governance

Faculty Governance

The Policies of the Board of Trustees 1987, Article X.5a.b. provide for the establishment of Faculty Bylaws:

a) The faculty of each college shall prepare and adopt bylaws which shall contain:  (1) Provisions for committees and their responsibilities; (2) Procedures for the calling and conduct of faculty meetings and elections; and (3) Provisions for such other matters or organization and procedure as may be necessary for the performance of their responsibilities.

b) Bylaws shall be consistent with and subject to the Policies of the Board of Trustees of State University of New York, the laws of the State of New York, and the provisions of agreements between the State of New York and the certified employee organization established pursuant to Article 14 for the Civil Service Law.  Provisions of bylaws concerning consultation with the faculty shall be subject to the approval of the chief administrative officer of the college.  All actions under bylaws shall be advisory upon the Chancellor and the Chief Administrative Officer of the college.

Guidelines for Proper Routing for Senate Business

(It is suggested that all members of the college read the faculty bylaws, particularly those pertaining to the Senate and Faculty Committees.)

1. All proposed business for the Senate MUST be submitted to the Executive Committee via the Senate chair.
2. Academic items would normally have been approved via Faculty Committees, the appropriate Dean, and the Vice President for Academic Affairs prior to submission.
3. Business may originate in the Senate or its Committees, but must be referred to the Executive Committee for routing and assignment.
4. To expedite business as efficiently as possible, Committee chairs make progress reports to the Executive Committee monthly (see bylaws).
