WHEREAS, Paragraph 9 of Section XIV of the Bylaws of the Faculty Senate states that the Bylaws of the Trustees of the University authorizes the Faculty Senate to “adopt regulations governing its own procedures with authority to enact, amend, and repeal its bylaws by a two-thirds vote of those present”; and

WHEREAS, Section 3.2.4.9. of the Bylaws of the Trustees of the University in fact authorizes the Faculty Senate to “adopt regulations governing its own procedures with authority to enact, amend, and repeal its bylaws,” imposing no requirement with respect to a two-thirds vote of those present for such an amendment; and

WHEREAS, the Faculty Senate wishes to correct such error;

RESOLVED, that Paragraph 9 of Section XIV of the Bylaws of the Faculty Senate shall be corrected to provide that Faculty shall: “adopt regulations governing its own procedures with authority to enact, amend, and repeal its bylaws.”
