Changing Senate membership rules requires the modification of a document known as the Operating Principles of the University Faculty (OPUF) . Here is a summary of the process:
(a) The Committee will frame its recommendations through a collection of resolutions.
(b) These resolutions will come before the Senate where they will be discussed, possibly modified, and voted upon.
(c) The collection of Senate-approved recommendations is then presented to the entire University Faculty for a vote.
(d) The OPUF is modified according to what is approved by the University Faculty and the changes become “the law.”
