DESCRIPTION OF THE Bylaws CHANGE AND ITS JUSTIFICATION
(Please add attachments to the end of the form.)
The sentence in parentheses under “b. Professional Staff” was inserted a few years ago, anticipating that the conflict would arise when staff members were appointed to committees. It should apply to both faculty and staff who become acting managers, and this has been what we have been practicing.
To remove any ambiguity, I suggest removing “at or” from the first sentence after Professional Staff. Likewise, the sentence following “Faculty” should be followed by “Individuals who are in acting positions at or above the level of Assistant Dean are not eligible to serve on standing committees)”.
The existing and proposed versions are attached.
