Agenda Item III B. Report of the Committee on Committees Frank Saunders, Chair of the Nominating Committee, gave the Committee report briefly explaining the process by which the nominations were made. The Committee felt that faculty members should not be asked to serve on more than one committee and that two individuals from the same unit should not serve on the same committee. Other than these two criteria, the Committee, for the most part, was able to choose nominees! first committee choices. In nominating members to the Administrative Committees, however, it was felt that the responsibilities of the Parking and Traffic Committee and the University Facilities Committee were overlapping and the Committee nominated one individual to both of those committees. Appreciation was expressed to the faculty for their willingness to serve on the Academic and Administrative Committees of the University. Saunders also pointed out that under Admissions Committee Nominees Helen "Fuller" should be Faller. C. E. Van Zandt (Education) was added to the roster of the Career Education Committee with a term expiring 1987. Patricia Weeks (Theatre Arts) was added as a nominee for alternate member of the Faculty Affairs Committee with term expiring 1988 should Lauretta Lewis be elected to a regular term. L. Hough (Political Science) questioned why no one from the School of Business had been nominated for the Research and Creative Activity Committee. Saunders reported that no one from the School of Business had requested membership on the Research/Creative Activity Committee and further explained the Charge of the Committee which calls for the following balance: Six from the College of Arts and Sciences with no more than two each from Humanities, Social Sciences and the Natural Sciences and Mathematics; and six from the professional schools and other academic units with not more than one from each professional school. The Chair suggested that the Senate vote alphabetically by committee. Where no election is required the nominees would be elected as a slate. If nominations were made from the floor the election would be held at that time. Committee terms are for three years unless otherwise stated.
