Advisory
Committees
While
under certain circumstances and situations an advisory committee may
appear to be desired and necessary, it is suggested that such bodies
be established only when the criteria listed below are satisfied,
that such a body really is necessary and
appropriate, and that approval for such action has been obtained from
this office. The following procedures should be used in deciding whether
an advisory body is appropriate:
1. The Criteria
A. The advisory
committee is needed to assist in establishing and meeting certain
standards or satisfying the requirements of an exterior agency such
as an accrediting body.
B. The advisory
body is needed to bring special expertise to the program or agency
of the University which would otherwise be unavailable.
C. The existence
of the advisory body would bring an involvement of a segment of
society that would otherwise be unavailable to the University.
D. The existence
of the advisory body is considered necessary in order for certain
disciplines of the University to remain in close touch with the
needs of industry or the people whom that particular segment of
the University was intended to serve.
II. Procedures to be Followed in Establishing Advisory Committees
The request for an appointment of the advisory body should contain
the following information:
A. Purpose
of the body
B. Objectives
to be served
C. Composition
of the initial membership including officers, procedures for selecting
other members to be contained within the membership, and details
on other operating structure
D. Schedule
of meetings and any special arrangements
E. Funding
requirements and sources
The request
to establish the advisory body should proceed through the normal
channel, e.g., Department Head, Dean, appropriate Vice Chancellor,
and to the Chancellor for his consideration and approval.
III. Naming of Advisory Committee and Initiation of its Operations
After having
received approval for establishing the advisory committee, the person
responsible for the office or agency creating the advisory committee
shall provide the Chancellor with the names and addresses of the
proposed membership of the advisory body.
After approving
the membership of the proposed group, the invitation to serve on
the advisory body will be extended by the Chancellor. The official
of the University responsible for organizing the committee will,
in his or her capacity as chairperson of the committee, call the
first meeting and proceed with its operations.
