Bylaws Committee (BLWS)
The Bylaws and Elections Committee shall be responsible for proposing changes in the Bylaws and the Standing Rules of the Boulder Faculty Assembly; for interpreting the BFA Bylaws and Standing Rules, subject to review by the Executive Committee Assembly; and for determining the conformity of BFA legislation and acts to the Bylaws and Standing Rules of the Assembly. The Committee shall monitor the implementation of Assembly legislation, problems resulting from conflicting legislation, and errors in the implementation of legislation, and report these matters to the Executive Committee for appropriate action.
In addition to its oversight of the Bylaws and Standing Rules of the Boulder Faculty Assembly, the Bylaws and Elections Committee shall also supervise the conduct of the nominations and elections of the members of the Assembly, its Officers, and Standing Committee members, and shall determine methods for filling temporary vacancies on the Assembly and its Committees, subject to the provisions of these Bylaws and as provided by the Standing Rules of the Boulder Faculty Assembly. The Committee shall recommend to the Executive Committee faculty members for appointment to campus-wide committees, as requested by the administration. The Committee shall review the apportionment of the Assembly’s membership and adjust it to ensure a fair distribution of representation among the members of the Boulder Faculty Senate at least every ten years.
The Bylaws and Elections Committee shall be chaired by the Parliamentarian and Bylaws and Elections Committee Chair, and its membership shall include the current Chair-Elect, the Immediate Past Chair, the two At-Large Members of the Executive Committee, and three members elected from the membership of the Assembly. Of the three elected Assembly members, consideration should be given to the ideal that there be at least one A&S representative and at least one non-A&S representative.
