Where a committee is concerned with the administration of resources normally used by the three research groups, the Director will ask each group to nominate a member to the committee. The secretary of each committee will keep minutes of each meeting, and file these with the Director's secretary. In those committees without a secretary, the Chair of the committee will be responsible for filing minutes with the Director's secretary. The School distinguishes between major policies, which are recorded in the present document, and minor policies. Complete listings of minor policies are available in reference binders kept in the laboratories and in the general office.
Most policies belong to particular committees.
Committees can adopt new policies or modify old ones by consensus or by majority vote. Copies of new or revised policies will be given to the Director's secretary, who will put them in the binders. If a member of the School not on the originating committee wishes to modify a policy, that member may request that the policy be put on the agenda of a School or Faculty meeting, as appropriate. The decision of that meeting then supersedes the decision of the originating committee. The UCC chair and the five faculty members are appointed by the Director.
