STANDING COMMITTEES
For the purposes of this list, Washington and Lee committees have been divided into three categories: those committees created by the Board of Trustees, those committees which administer faculty responsibilities, and those committees in which the administration asks members of the faculty to join with administrative personnel in making certain decisions. A current list of committee members is kept by the Office of the Dean of the College.
COMMITTEES CREATED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Advisory: The By-Laws of the University describe
the Advisory Committee as follows: "To the end that the knowledge and views
of the faculty may be appropriately represented and understood in connection
with certain important appointments, there shall be an Advisory Committee
consisting of the Deans of the college and schools, ex officio, and of
six faculty members selected from and by the undergraduate faculty and
one faculty member selected from and by the law faculty. The Board shall
consult with the Committee in considering the selection of a President
of the University. The President shall consult with the Committee in considering
the selection of a Department Head or Dean, and may consult with the Committee
and with the appropriate Department Head or Dean in considering appointments
of persons to the Faculty."
When the Advisory Committee is dealing with undergraduate promotion
and tenure review recommendations; reviewing undergraduate Glenn and R.E.Lee
Grant proposals; and reviewing department head recommendations, it will
function as an undergraduate committee. Its membership will include six
undergraduate faculty members, who will be elected by the undergraduate
faculty (two annually to serve three-year terms) and, ex officio, the Dean
of the College and the Dean of the Williams School of Commerce, Economics
and Politics.
When the committee is dealing with undergraduate and law faculty leave proposals; consulting with the president re decanal appointments; recommending to the Board of Trustees candidates for honorary degrees; and consulting with the president on matters of University-wide importance where faculty and decanal advice is needed, or other University matters, it will function as a University committee. Its membership will include the same six undergraduate faculty; one law faculty member, elected by the law faculty to serve a three-year term; and, ex officio, the Dean of the College, the Dean of the Williams School of Commerce, Economics and Politics, and the Dean of the School of Law."
