Rules of Order

Proposals for Faculty action involving decisions of major substance, whether originating with a committee or an individual member, shall be distributed with the agenda of the meeting at least three days in advance. No substantive motion shall be debated or put to a vote until the motion shall have been submitted to the Secretary in writing (determination of substantive issues to be made by the President of 

the Faculty).

In general, proceedings shall be in accord with the traditional parliamentary procedure (Robert's Rules of Order), except that any Faculty member, by requesting such an action, may have the decision on a matter of policy postponed from one meeting to the next, there to be acted upon.
