4. New Business:
Parliamentarian Jeff Jordan expressed a need to revise two propositions in the Constitution of the Faculty that are badly out-dated. As it now stands the semi-annual General Faculty Meeting is required to have a quorum of ¼ of the voting faculty (approximately 250 members). He suggested removing any quorum requirement for that meeting. Michael Keefe remembered that this may have been previously addressed and voted upon at a Senate meeting. Jeff gave a letter to Dallas Hoover (Chair, Rules Committee) to look into the situation. No action will be taken until Karren and Rita investigate past records to see if there is written documentation.
Jeff also indicated that Section IV, Article 13 and Section VIII, Article 3 both stipulate that Robert’s Rules, newly revised, 1970 be used. The 1970 edition was the 7th edition; Robert’s is now in its 10th edition.
