Faculty Meetings
The faculty of Hanover College meets in monthly session to hear
committee reports and to take legislative action on recommendations within
its
jurisdiction.
Regularly scheduled meetings of the faculty ordinarily
include the first formal meeting of the year and the regular monthly
meetings.
Special meetings may be called as needed by the President, by request
of the Board of Trustees, or by petition of 50% of the voting members
of the faculty. The conduct of meetings is governed by Roberts Rules
of Order.
The first formal meeting of the year is held prior to new
student orientation and registration activities, and deals with matters
relating
to the beginning of a new academic year.
The monthly meetings are normally
held on the first Thursday afternoon of each month, October through May,
and deal with current business,
announcements, and discussion of matters of concern to the academic
community. Attendance at all meetings is a part of each faculty member’s
professional obligation, unless he or she is prevented by illness or
other unavoidable circumstances.
Committee and faculty members who have
matters of business they wish to bring to the faculty should bring
these to the attention of the
Faculty Steering Committee, which will ordinarily meet a week in advance
of the faculty meeting. Items will be placed on the agenda on affirmative
vote of the committee. The agenda will include an open period for discussions, "For
the Good of the Order," during which items pertaining to the welfare
of the institution may be brought up. Such unannounced matters may
be referred to a committee or an individual for study or a recommendation,
but are not subject to formal action or to a vote. The agenda will
be published one week before the meeting.
Recommendations for action
on agenda items may be presented for information and discussion at
one meeting and called up for action at a subsequent
meeting. A proposed motion may be distributed to the entire faculty
not less than one week before the date of the meeting at which a vote
is to be taken. A motion properly presented for action may be postponed
from one meeting to the next by a motion to postpone supported by 25%
of the faculty.
