Proposed change to SIS Bylaws

February 5, 2009

Program chairs are voting members of the SIS Council. It is proposed that they be given the option of designating another faculty member to represent them. This is reflected in the following proposed change (in red) to section V.B. of the bylaws.

“The SIS Council consists of twelve (12) voting members. The voting members include four program chairs (Program Chairs for Undergraduate, Graduate IS, Graduate LIS, and Graduate Telecommunications) or a faculty member they designate, three faculty elected at large, a Council Chair elected at large, one staff plus one alternate (at large) and three students. Non-voting members include the Dean or his/her representative, the Associate Dean(s) (unless they are voting members by the above criteria), and other staff members designated by the Dean to attend SIS Council meetings.”
