The
Committee as a whole proposes that the phrase “non-voting” be removed from the
listing of the Ex-Officio members, thus permitting them to vote and to serve as
officers. We request this first of all because the expertise of these people
regarding the environment and campus issues is critical to the ability of the
committee to make informed, appropriate and useful recommendations. We believe
that the committee will be much more effective with this change. In addition,
this will alleviate the ongoing difficulty we have experienced in realizing a
full slate of officers each year, as well as permit long-term continuity and
ongoing institutional memory. If you
have questions concerning this request or need additional information, please
contact us. We appreciate your time and attention to this matter and wish you a
pleasant summer.
