The URC chair will be responsible for conducting regular council meetings. In the absence of the chair, the chair-elect will assume these duties. Appointments to the subcommittees are made by the executive committee. Representatives from each college will serve two-year terms on the council. This process allows colleges to be represented by at least one experienced URC member at all times.
Council members are eligible for reappointment.
If a council representative is unable to serve out a term, the dean of the appropriate college will arrange for a replacement to fill the position. Terms of office for faculty representatives to the URC will officially end on June 30. In order to ensure an orderly progression of council activities, however, the retiring URC chair should inform the college deans in early April each year as to the membership status of college representatives. This procedure will allow colleges time to make selection arrangements before the spring semester ends. New council members will, therefore, be in place and ready for the first URC meeting each fall.
