Policy Statement

1. The latest edition of Robert's Rules of Order shall govern the conduct of the meetings of the Council except insofar as the bylaws make express provision to the contrary. Ordinarily, major policy proposals should have first and second readings.
2. The Executive Committee shall publish a schedule of Council meetings for the academic year before the beginning of the fall semester but may schedule additional meetings or cancel meetings as the need arises. The meetings of the Council shall begin at 2:30 P.M. and adjourn at 4:30 P.M. unless a later adjournment is agreed to unanimously. The Council by concurrence of a simple majority vote may fix a different time for a regular meeting or call a special meeting.
3. The presence of a majority of the members shall constitute a quorum.
4. Elections
   1. The Nomination Committee and the Director of Faculty Council Offices shall conduct the elections for the Bloomington Faculty Council and the Faculty President-elect.
   2. Eligibility to Vote. Eligible participants and election units are governed by sections 5.5.A through D of the Constitution of the Bloomington Faculty. The election sub-units into which the College of Arts and Sciences are divided pursuant to section 5.5.A of the Constitution of the Bloomington Faculty shall be specified in an appendix to these bylaws.
      
      1. Preparation of Voting Lists. The Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs shall supply a list of eligible Bloomington faculty and librarians; this list shall specify the departmental or programmatic affiliations, tenured or non-tenured status, rank and email address of each person. The Nomination Committee and the Director of Faculty Council Offices shall check the lists and adjust them to provide that no person is assigned to more than one election unit.
      2. Individual Choice of Voting Unit. Anyone may request the Nomination Committee and the Director of Faculty Council Offices to change an assignment to an election unit. If the Nomination Committee and the Director of Faculty Council Offices do not agree to the change, this decision may be appealed to the Constitution and Rules Committee, whose decision will be final. The Constitution and Rules Committee shall report to the Council any such actions taken.
      3. Basis of Representation. Each of the election units shall be entitled to one Council representative for each fifty members (or major fraction thereof); each election unit shall have a minimum of one representative, unless otherwise specified in BL-ACA-D8 Constitution of the Bloomington Faculty.
      4. Nominations. In November of each year, the Nomination Committee and the Director of Faculty Council Offices shall solicit nominations for representatives to the Bloomington Faculty Council. The list of all persons eligible to vote (organized by electoral unit and indicating which are tenured and which are non-tenured) shall be distributed to all faculty and librarians. This list shall accompany the nomination ballot. The nomination ballot shall list the present membership of the Bloomington Faculty Council--indicating which persons will serve an additional year, which are finishing a term but are eligible for re-election, and which are ineligible for re-election under Section 5.5.E of the Constitution of the Bloomington Faculty. Each voter shall be notified as to their election unit and the number of seats to be filled from that election unit. They shall be invited to make twice this number of nominations from that election unit. A separate ballot shall be provided of at-large representatives. Each voter may make three nominations for at-large representatives.
      5. The Nomination Committee and the Director of Faculty Council Offices shall also solicit nominations for the Faculty President-elect. Candidates for President-elect shall be selected from the current, elected members of the Bloomington Faculty Council through a process of nomination by fellow Council members. Each candidate must receive a minimum of three nominations to be considered for election. From among those nominated, the Nomination Committee will select at least two, but no more than six, candidates for President-elect, working to ensure diversity in the slate.
      6. Preparing the Election Ballot. For the Bloomington Faculty Council, those persons receiving the most nominating votes in each unit shall be placed on the final ballot, with a total number of candidates at least twice the number of seats to be filled. If the nominating votes are tied between two or more candidates, all such tied candidates will be placed on the final ballot. Up to six additional at-large nominations may be made by the Bloomington Faculty Council's Nomination Committee. Before any name is placed on the final ballot, the Nomination Committee and the Director of Faculty Council Offices must determine that the nominee is willing to serve if elected. If a person has been nominated for the Bloomington Faculty Council from both an election unit and at-large, the Nomination Committee and the Director of the Faculty Council Offices shall direct the nominee to choose in which one (and only one) of the categories they wish to stand for election. The final ballot shall list the nominees from each election unit. The at-large nominees plus the six nominees from the Nomination Committee will be combined and listed randomly. 
         
         For President-elect, the ballot shall list the names of candidates selected by the Nomination Committee. Abbreviated resumes of relevant experience for each candidate shall accompany the ballot. The ballot shall permit write-in candidates provided those candidates are current, elected members of the Council.
      7. Conduct of the Election. The election of the Bloomington Faculty Council and of the President-elect for the following academic year shall be completed by the end of the spring semester. Each voter shall be entitled to vote in this election for representatives in their election unit, at-large and President-elect. Tenure-track faculty and librarians will additionally vote for at-large representatives. The Nomination Committee and the Director of Faculty Council Offices shall file with the Bloomington Faculty President a record of the votes cast and the final ballot that shall be available for inspection by any faculty member.
   3. In early November, the Executive Committee shall circulate a ballot to the current members of the BFC containing at least ten nominees for a new Nomination Committee. The names on the ballot shall be arranged in pairs, with the aim of broad representation from across the academic units and of which no fewer than four shall be represented. The person in each pair receiving the larger number of votes shall be elected. The new Nomination Committee should be elected by the end of the first week of December. The Nomination Committee shall be chaired by the President-elect, who shall be a voting member of the committee. Nomination Committee members, once elected, will serve terms from January to January. Some members of the Nomination Committee may complete their term on the Nomination Committee six months after the end of their term on the Bloomington Faculty Council. On July 1st, the new President-elect becomes the chair of the Nomination Committee. The former President-elect remains a member of the committee through the end of their term as President.
   4. After the Bloomington Faculty Council members of the ensuing year have been determined, the Nomination Committee shall circulate a ballot to the voting members of the Council--as it will be constituted for the ensuing term--to elect a Secretary and a Parliamentarian. There shall be two nominees for Secretary and two for Parliamentarian. The ballot shall permit write-in candidates. The persons receiving the most votes for Secretary and Parliamentarian shall serve in those offices and shall also be members of the Executive Committee.
   5. Representatives from this campus to the University Faculty Council must be members of the Bloomington Faculty Council. Bloomington representatives to the University Faculty Council shall consist of the President-elect and a subset of chairs/co-chairs of the standing committees such that the designated number of seats is filled. If this procedure does not provide the designated number of representatives, the Nominations Committee will fill the remaining positions. These BFC members shall be the principal Bloomington nominees for the chair or co-chair of their counterpart committees of the UFC.
   6. Specific times for particular steps in the election process established by the above regulations, as well as number to be elected from units or length of terms of service, may need to be modified in emergencies. Such necessary revisions shall not invalidate the election procedures or results.
   7. If a vacancy occurs in any of the following--President, Secretary, Parliamentarian, Nomination Committee, or Executive Committee--the Nomination Committee and the Executive Committee (deciding jointly) shall elect a replacement from among the present faculty members of the Council.
   8. In all elections of officers, committees, and Council members, ties will be decided by lot.
5. The Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs, the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education, the Vice Provost for Graduate Education and Health Sciences and the Vice Provost for Research in Bloomington shall be voting members of the council.
6. One representative of the Bloomington Reserve Officer Training Corps shall be a non-voting member of the Bloomington Faculty Council, representing the Departments of Military Science (Army) and Aerospace Studies (Air Force), to be designated jointly by the members of those departments.
7. Alternates, Temporary Replacement Members, Vacancies:
   1. Members of the Council may appoint alternates to serve in their places at any meeting. Alternates should be selected from the same election unit as the council member. Notice that an alternate will serve in place of a council member should be provided to the Faculty Council Office no less than 24 hours before the meeting.
   2. If an elected member will be absent for one or two semesters, the member shall notify the Executive Committee prior to the first meeting of the semester. The Executive Committee will initiate a process for temporary replacement that will include consultation of the member's school policy committee or, in the case of at-large members, the Nomination Committee. If an elected member will be absent for more than a year, the member shall notify the Executive Committee, and the Executive Committee will declare the seat vacant. If someone is elected President, their seat also becomes vacant and should be filled according to the procedures in section 7.C.
   3. Whenever a vacancy occurs among the elected members of the Council earlier than a month before the Council's final meeting of the academic year, that vacancy shall be filled by the unelected nominee in the same election unit (whether faculty and librarian election unit or the at-large unit) who received the highest number of votes in the most recent election. If that person is unable to serve, the elected faculty members of the unit's policy committee, or equivalent, shall elect a replacement from among members of the same election unit or, in the case of an at-large vacancy, the Nomination Committee and the Executive Committee, meeting jointly, shall elect a replacement from among eligible faculty.
   4. A member of Council who fails to attend a majority of Council meetings during a semester will be contacted by the Executive Committee. After the discussion the Executive Committee, at its discretion, may take no action, initiate a temporary replacement process, or declare the seat vacant.
8. Liaisons to School Policy Committees
   1. One representative from each faculty and librarian election unit shall serve as the Council liaison to the unit's policy committee or equivalent. The Council liaisons shall regularly inform unit policy committees of matters pending before the Council that affect the units.
   2. For units with more than one representative, the Nomination Committee shall designate which one shall serve as Council liaison, giving preference to representatives who are also members of their unit's policy committee.
   3. The liaisons shall convey to the Council the views and concerns of unit policy committees about matters that pertain to Council business. If the liaison is not a member of the elected unit policy committee, that policy committee may if it wishes send one of its members to attend BFC meetings as an observer with speaking privileges.
9. On request prior to a meeting, any faculty member may be invited by the Executive Committee to participate without vote in Council meetings--subject, however, to the exercise by the Executive Committee of its responsibility for taking varied points of view into account and for the efficient management of the Council's time. On its own initiative the Executive Committee may invite any non-member to participate in the discussion of matters of particular interest. Faculty members, students, members of the University staff, and members of the press are welcome to attend meetings of the Council, subject only to the adequacy of available space. The Executive Committee may invite the general faculty to participate in special meetings of the Council to be governed by ad hoc rules adopted by the Executive Committee.
