1. Membership shall consist of one senator elected by each representation unit (except the College of University Studies and the College of Graduate and Interdisciplinary Studies), the President, the President-Elect, the Provost/Vice-President for Academic Affairs, the Dean of the College of Graduate and Interdisciplinary Studies, the Staff Senate president, the student body president and one of the three Council of College Faculties representatives. The President-Elect shall be an ex-officio (non-voting) member unless elected to the Executive Committee by his/her representative unit. The Council of College Faculties representative will be appointed by the President in September to serve a one year, ex-officio (non-voting) term on the committee. In the event the immediate Past President is unable or unwilling to serve, the President will appoint another past Presiding Officer as a replacement for the immediate Past President on the committee. The Past President, or his or her replacement, will serve as chair of an ad-hoc Bylaws committee should one be required.
   
   
2. The term of office shall be for one year following the regular May meeting. PART III, Section 5, permits a member to be re-elected during that member's term as senator.
   
   
3. During the first week of the new Senate term, the Executive Committee shall meet and organize for the following year.
   
   
4. Committee responsibilities are the following:
   
   • Expedite Senate functions by receiving all problems referred by members of the faculty, administration, or student body; by assigning problems to Senate committees; and by reviewing periodically the progress of these committees.
   • Serve in a liaison capacity regarding the University Senate, administration, Staff Senate, and Student Senate.
   • Interpret, when necessary, provisions of the University Senate Constitution and Bylaws.
