  1. CEFO Constitution and Bylaws Peter Schmidt Assistant Professor, Engineering Technology CEFO Parliamentarian at Charlotte

  2. What is the difference? • Robert’s Rules state that an organization such as CEFO usually has a document called “Bylaws” or “Constitution and Bylaws” • The advantage of having two documents is to set different criteria for changing them. • This seems to be the intent of the documents currently in use.

  3. Current Situation • CEFO Constitution • CEFO Bylaws • Stand Alone Committee Bylaws • Committees Operating without approved Bylaws

  4. Constitution • Voting Rights • Right to Hold Office • Faculty Authority • Officers / Offices • CEFEC / Standing Committees - functions • Frequency of Elections • Meetings • Amendment Procedure • Appendix Listing Standing Committees

  5. Bylaws Specific descriptions of operations of some by not all standing committees. (CEAPCC) (DRC) (CERC) (CEFAC) Specific procedures for submitting actions to some, but not all committees. (RPT) (Curriculum Proposals)

  6. CEFEC Proposed Course of Action Revise the Constitution to include standing committees currently in operation, and correct minor inconsistencies with current CEFO operation. Retain the requirement that 2/3 majority must approve amendments. (AY 1) Revise and expand the current Bylaws document so that the current state of operation of all committees is documented. Add the Constitution’s requirement that committees must report on a regular basis to the CEFO. Retain the current requirement that committee bylaws are drafted by committee members and are approved by a simple majority of the faculty. (AY 2)

  7. Proposed Timeline, AY 2009-2010 01/01/2010 Begin gathering information for Bylaws revision 02/13/2010 Verify list of standing committees for Constitution revision 02/25/2010 Revised Constitution posted on consent link 03/25/2010 Constitution comment / review period ends 04/01/2010 Constitution Amendment Discussion and Vote 05/15/2010 Announce results of vote, post appropriate document
