    The Faculty Council consists of 5 faculty members with one representative from each of the 3 Departments and 2 representatives at large. These representatives, and the chair and secretary from among these representatives are elected at the May College Faculty Meeting via nominations from the floor. The Dean or his representative serves as a non-voting member of the Faculty Council. The term of election is 2 years, and no representative may be elected for more than 2 consecutive terms.

     

  2. Faculty Standing Committees

    The number following the name indicates years of consecutive service on that committee up through the 2009-2010 academic year, which will end on June 30, 2010.  If that number is 1-5 then that person may again serve on that committee during the 2010-2011 fiscal year.  Typically people serve 3-year terms with a maximum of 2 consecutive terms, but there is nothing in the by-laws, which indicates a person must serve a 3-year term.  If the number is 6 then that person may not serve on that committee during the 2010-2011 year as indicated in the Faculty by-laws under III, B, 4 sub-part a. 3).  The Dean appoints the Chair of the committee and the committee will elect the secretary of the committee.  Each committee serves from July 1st to June 30th.  The Ex Officio members of the committees are non-voting members, and may be represented on committees by an appointee of the Ex Officio member.   (* - completing unfinished term of a withdrawn member.)

    The CCOP consists of one member from each Department.  Each Department elects its own member from among all permanent faculty at instructor or above, including the Department Head.  The term is for 3 years, and the person can serve no more than 2 consecutive terms.  Department heads, although eligible to serve on and elect members to FSCOUP and CCOP, are not eligible to serve on or elect members to DCOP.  The election should be by May 15th in those years when an election is necessary.  The committee will elect its own chair, and should have at least one meeting per year.

    In summary:  Members of the DCOPs and CCOPs are to be elected, not appointed.  All unclassified personnel, not just those with faculty rank, are eligible to vote and serve on the DCOPs and CCOPs.  Department Heads are eligible to vote and serve on CCOPs, but are NOT eligible to vote or serve on DCOPs

    2. Inspect the laboratory on a bimonthly basis to ensure that investigators are following SOPs and the laboratory is clean, organized and provides a safe work environment.

    3. Establish policies that will enable the Kansas State Diagnostic Laboratory and individual researchers to make the most efficient used of the facility.

    8. In conjunction with the Director, the Advisory Committee will provide a yearly report to the Dean that summarizes projects conducted within the laboratory.
