Rules, Practices and Policies Committee (RPP)
Committee Description
The Rules, Practices and Policies (RPP) Committee has been reconstituted to address specific issues that have arisen or been exacerbated as a result of conditions brought about by a global pandemic. The first item concerns the University senate Rules and the meeting needs of faculty governance bodies in the context of available technology and remote participation. The remaining items in the charge reflect an ongoing interest of clinical faculty, lecturers, and emeriti faculty to have representation in central faculty governance in some capacity.
