All meetings of the Council are announced in The Bulletin and are open to members of the College community. The Membership Committee's nominees must be approved by the Council and appointed by the Dean of Arts and Sciences. D. Nominations for Council membership must be made with due regard to expertise, commitment to the goals of the Center, and balance across the College. Special care must be taken to assure a gender, racial and ethnic balance on the Council. One other student represents the CCSA Committee on Prejudice and Discrimination and is selected by that group, while two other students are at-large members appointed by the Council.
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 coordinator. G. Terms of service are established in order to encourage the broadest possible participation by members of the college community, and to discourage the appearance of exclusivity or elitism. The Council should, however, balance those goals against the need for flexibility, representation, and continuity, and extend individual terms when such extensions are in the interests of the broadest goals and ideals of the Council. Such extensions will be considered initially by the Steering Committee, which will then present an appropriate recommendation to the entire Council for approval. H. Students serve a one-year term.
