PROPOSED CHANGE TO THE UNIVERSITY OF
TEXAS HANDBOOK OF OPERATING PROCEDURES, CHAPTER 1, PAGE 4
The Rules Committee recommends the following change to Chapter
1, page 4, of The University of Texas Handbook of Operating Procedures.
The proposed change, in essence, suggests that the Faculty Council
and General Faculty meetings in October be held at the same time
and general venue, with the Faculty Council meeting immediately
preceding or following the General Faculty meeting.
The intent of the rule change is to encourage a single presentation by
the president accessible to both groups, and to maximize attendance at
the General Faculty meeting by making it convenient to those attending
the Faculty Council meeting. However, the proposed language is flexible
enough to provide for a different day and time if that is in the best
interest of the General Faculty.
Current language:
C. Meetings.
1.
|
There shall be one regular meeting of the General Faculty
each year on the third Tuesday of October at which the president
shall make an informal presentation of the more significant
recent and pending developments at the University and at
which questions may be directed to the president from the
floor. (See Policy Memorandum 1.101 re submission of questions.)

Proposed language:
C. Meetings.
1.
|
There shall be one regular meeting of the General Faculty
each year, normally in October, at which the president shall
make an informal presentation of the more significant recent
and pending developments at the University and at which questions
may be directed to the president from the floor. (See Policy
Memorandum 1.101 re submission of questions.) This meeting
may be held immediately before or after the October meeting
of the Faculty Council. If it is in the best interest of
the General Faculty, such as to consider non-routine business,
the meeting may be held at a different place and time.
