A quorum for Council meetings shall consist of six elected members. The presiding Chair of Council may vote on matters before Council only when that vote will affect the outcome. The Council shall draw up an agenda and call a School Assembly each year during the Fall and Spring Terms. The Council will call separate assemblies of faculty and staff, once per academic year. The Council may call additional School or special assemblies as deemed necessary.
All assemblies require at least one week's advance notice in writing.
The Council shall maintain a permanent indexed file of its records in the Dean's Office. The minutes of Council meetings shall be recorded. The minutes will be circulated expeditiously to the School. In addition, the Council shall report its activities to the School in a written annual report. Each action of any Committee, other than those on internal committee matters, requires ratification by School Council before its action is recommended to the Dean.
