" C 7"- URI FACULTY SENATE...-<--t:~:~;.v ~()f-..._, ~..,.,_. ii;xecutive -.iommittee 13 July 1966 PFoposa.l to authorize inclusion of certaln materlal in the University Jianual. It is recommende~ that the Executive Committee act in lieu of the Senate during its absence to authorize the inclusion in the University Manua.i of the following material, which would become paragraphs 2.38 and 2.4 in revisecl pages replacing pages in the - Manual: "2.38 If the Dean of the GraGtuate School disapproves of any action voted by a majority of the Gracii.uate Council, he shall place the item on the agenda for the next meeting of' the ~cuncil noting his reason for so doing. If agreement between the Dean and the majority of the Council is not reached at this second meeting, the item ohjectea to by the Dean shall be made the first order of business at a special meeting of the Graduate Faculty. The decision of the majority of those present at the ~aduate Faculty meeting, provided that u quorum is in attendance shall determine the matter. If a quorum is not present, the action of the Graduate Council shall stand approved Amendment The provisions of Section 2 (The Graduate School) maybe amendet:i, by two-thirds majority vote of those present and eligible to vote at any regular or special meeting of the Graduate Faculty, providecl a quorum is present, but a proposal to amend may not be voted upon at the meeting at which it is first moved." Explanation. on April 6, 1965, the Graduate Faculty approved a set of articles fod the government of the Grad~ate School. It was contained in ~he Reoort of the Committee to Re-evaluate the Functions and Duties of the Gradm:,te Council. The material above was included in the report, which was approvea on Apr. 6, 1965, to replace the material on pa :es in the Univ. Manual.< The Graduate School forwarde~ this material to the Faculty Senate for authorization to incluae it in the University Manual, in the form of a report entitled "Proposed Changes in Procedures.for the Graduate School." On Oct. 14., 1965, the Faculty Se:;.1ate voted to authorize its inclusion in the Univ. Manual. However, in the Propose~ Changes forwarded to the Senate by the Graduate School., the two paragraphs (2.38 ana 2.4) above, which had been approved by the Graduate Faculty, were omitted. The articles for the government of the Graiuate ~chool are incomplete without these paragraphs, an~ therefore it is recommendea that they be addefi to the Univ. Manual now. It is submitted that this matter is urgent with regard to time because revise& pages.for the Univ. Manual will be prepared soon.for distribution to the Faculty, ani it is desirable that this material be added. to the Manual as soon as possible. no Change of authorizej_policy is involved. It is merely the correction of an error of omftssion. Robert W. Harrison Vice Chairman
