Order of Business of Regular Faculty Senate Meetings

At regular meetings of the Faculty Senate, the order of business is ordinarily the following:
   a. Approval of Minutes. Because the minutes have been circulated, the Secretary-Treasurer does not usually read the minutes. Instead, the President asks if there are any changes or additions to the minutes. After noting any of these, the President asks for a motion that the minutes be approved as distributed or as amended.
   b. Correspondence and Announcements.
   c. Unfinished Business.
   d. Reports of Committees.
   e. New Business.
   f. Announcement of Time and Place of Next Meeting.
   g. Adjournment.

Generally, if someone who is not a senator is speaking to the Faculty Senate, the presentation is scheduled at the beginning of the meeting (i.e., after approval or amendment of the minutes and before correspondence and announcements). If a senator is making a presentation, the topic determines when the presentation is scheduled during a meeting.
