The ratified slate will then be submitted to the chairperson of the Board of Trustees with the request that the individuals on this slate be appointed as the faculty and student representatives on the Chancellor Search Committee. Section 2. When it becomes necessary to search for a new Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs the Senate Agenda Committee, enlarged to include the chairperson of the Senate Committee on Academic Affairs, shall consult with the Chancellor and proceed to designate a slate of potential members of a Search Committee. This slate shall include appropriate numbers of faculty members, academic deans, exempt staff, graduate students and undergraduate students. The Agenda Committee shall present this slate to the Senate for its ratification. Upon ratification, this slate will be submitted to the Chancellor with the request that the individuals named on the slate be appointed as the Vice Chancellor Search Committee. When it becomes necessary to search for a new Vice Chancellor (other than the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs) or other major administrator of the University as defined by the Agenda Committee, the Agenda Committee will consult with the Chancellor, or other administrative officers responsible for the appointment, and proceed to designate a slate of faculty members, graduate students, undergraduate students, and such other representatives of the campus community as it deems appropriate.
