    2. College Senate
      1. Roles and Functions

        The College Senate will not operate as an administrative body but is the major advisory body to the President, with representation from administrators, faculty, staff, student body and professional associations from both Price and San Juan Campus locations. It is a communications channel connecting all members of the College community and is a forum for ideas which would improve and strengthen the College.

        1. The College Senate will meet twice a month. The schedule will be established at the first meeting of the academic year, unless the chair formally cancels a meeting. With a minimum of three days' notice, the chair may convene special meetings of the College Senate. Special meetings may also be convened by the chair at the request of no fewer than five members.
        2. Members elected by associations and divisions of each CEU campus will take their seats at the final meeting of the academic year preceding their term. Terms will be for at least two years with staggered terms. Each division is responsible for one new member (who will hold a two year term) each year to ensure the terms will remain staggered. Additionally, one faculty member will be elected at large. The President and Vice-President of the Faculty Senate, the Presidents of the Classified and Professional Staff associations, and the Student Body President will serve on the College Senate during their terms of office. An elected seat may be held for no more than two consecutive terms by the same individual, but there will be no limit to the total number of years that may be served by an individual on the College Senate.
        3. At its final meeting of the academic year the College Senate (consisting of continuing representatives and new representatives of the upcoming academic year) will elect from its membership a chair and vice-chair. No individual may serve more than two consecutive years as chair. This final vote of the final meeting is the only item of business that the newly elected College Senate representatives will participate in during the current academic year. New College Senate representatives’ full voting term begins at the start of the new academic year for which they are elected.
        4. The chair will distribute the agenda and support materials no later than three working days before all regularly scheduled meetings and two days before special meetings. Members who wish to have items placed on the agenda must submit required materials to the chair at least four working days before the meeting.

        6. The College Senate will operate in accordance with Robert's Rules of Order (latest edition). Proposals presented to the College Senate will initially be placed on the agenda as non-action items. When appearing on the agenda a second time, they will be treated as action items. Action may be taken on non-action items only with the unanimous consent of the members.
        7. Members who are unable to attend a meeting should arrange to have another individual represent them. The substitute may cast proxy votes for the member only on action items listed on the published agenda of the College Senate, and then only to vote in a manner instructed by the member for whom the individual is substituting.
    3. Faculty Senate

      In large measure the responsibility for the quality of the institution rests with the faculty*. This responsibility is primarily in the areas of instruction, curricula, and other academic affairs. While other functions of the College are prime responsibility of other entities, every decision regarding the direction, purpose, scope, or budget of any program in the institution has an impact on the College as a whole and, therefore, on instruction in particular.

      The timely knowledge of pending decisions and access to the decision-making process is the only way the faculty can fulfill the responsibilities referred to above.

      *The term faculty will mean all full-time tenure-track employees of the College of Eastern Utah whose contracted services are primarily instructional, excluding faculty holding administrative positions beyond the departmental level.

      1. Purpose
        1. Advise and counsel institutional committees, the College President and Vice Presidents on matters relevant to faculty.
        2. Provide an elected faculty member (the Faculty Senate President or his/her appointed delegate) to represent the faculty at all meetings of the College of Eastern Utah Board of Trustees.
        3. Represent faculty on committees that impact curriculum and instruction.
        4. Negotiate annual changes to the faculty salary schedule with the administration and ensure that the integrity of the schedule is maintained during the hiring process and through individual changes of faculty salaries.
        5. Issues not clearly under the purview of any standing committee shall be considered Faculty Senate business.
    4. Budget Committee

      The Budget Committees (of the Price and Blanding Campuses) is comprised of those administrators who have broad fiscal responsibility at the College. The purpose of the Committee is to review and advise the President on fiscal matters, inclusive of annual budget and implementation. The annual budget will be reviewed by the Budget Committees by the College Senate and the Board of Trustees.

      1. Functions
        1. The Committee will review the status of the operating budget to attend to issues brought by the President or other administrators.
        2. Appropriate issues to come before the Committee include filling of vacant positions, constituent groups’ issues related to operating funds, unfunded, large emergency acquisitions, and other matters as they relate to the fiscal well-being of the College.
        3. New position appointments which require a salary greater than prescribed by salary charts will be discussed by the Budget Committee or members of that constituent group will be consulted.
        4. This Committee will be the resource group when the College needs to address any major financial changes that will affect the stability of the College.

      3. Operating Procedures
        1. Members of the Budget Committee will have access to and the opportunity to review the operating budget on a continual basis. Members may choose to access the budget through the intranet or may request a “hard copy” if preferable.
        2. The President will invite College community members to review and make input into the budget process from the initial funding request for the next fiscal year through the legislative appropriations. The following steps are in place to accommodate the process, which begins each year in June to July and follows until March to April.
        3. Officers of the Faculty Senate, Professional Association, and Classified Association, working with the Vice-President for Finance and Administrative Services and their constituent groups, will develop a plan for the application of available funds for compensation. The plan should reflect the collective agreement of the group membership. These consultative procedures will be carried out in a manner consistent with compensation guidelines adopted annually by the Board of Regents.

          Employee compensation is a major portion of the yearly budget. To facilitate a smooth negotiating process, each group should present any changes to their current compensation plan to the College Senate by January 15th . These changes must be accepted by the College Senate, and the college president by March 15th or the previous years plan will be in force for that years salary negotiations. Once a plan is approved, the plan becomes the accepted compensation avenue for each constituent group on campus. These plans cannot be altered or changed by either the constituent groups or the administration until after the current years contracts are awarded. It is recommended that each plan describe the disbursements of funds for that group. A prioritized listing of disbursements is suggested. This will allow each constituent group to determine which items should be compensated first, and which items might be left behind in the event that insufficient funds arise.

        4. Recommendations of the Budget Committee will be completed in a timely fashion, particularly those affecting an impending employee appointment and compensation.
        5. The procedure for new compensation distribution is as follows:
          1. Regents and Legislative Analysts concurrence and College notification
          2. A campus wide open hearing will be held to solicit input on all budget requests. Participants will be provided copies of the previous year’s budget and recommended requests from departments and divisions. Participants will be encouraged to provide input into possible changes from the previous year to the coming budget year request. Likewise, when funds are appropriated, participants will be invited to receive the budget and provide input on pertinent matters.
          3. Vice-President for Finance and Administrative Services creation of constituent group funding, in accordance with employee membership and current salary charts.
          4. Constituent group meetings, discussions, and recommendation
          5. Budget Committee consultation and advisement
