All meetings of the Council are to be announced on CATE's web page, by e-mail, and in The Bulletin, and are open to members of the college community. Members of the Council are nominated by an ad hoc Membership Committee. The Membership Committee's nominees must be approved by the Council and appointed by the Provost. Nomination for Council membership must be made with due regard to expertise, commitment to the goals of the Center, and balance across the College. Faculty and staff serve two-year terms.
Terms are renewable but generally limited to three consecutive terms.
However, membership terms may be extended for individuals who have been elected to serve as Council Chair or as a committee chair. Individuals elected to chair the Council or to coordinate the Computer Application Program may remain on the Council as long as they continue in that position for up to three additional two-year terms. Students serve a one-year term. Terms are renewable. Student appointments are made in the Fall semester for that academic year.
