Duties

  1. Nominate members for election to the elected committees and offices as described in Chapter V and appoint members of other standing and special committees of the Division. The Committee on Committees shall make every effort, consistent with UC policies, to seek a balance with respect to diversity in the makeup of appointed council and committee memberships, election slates, and representation on all nomination lists that are the responsibility of the committee.
  2. Appoint chairs of committees of the Division except for those whose method of appointment is otherwise specified in these Bylaws.
  3. Fill by appointment any permanent vacancy that may occur in a Senate office or committee for the balance of the vacated term, except for the Council on Academic Personnel and the Committee on Committees. Vacancies for the Council on Academic Personnel shall be conducted in accordance with Bylaw 181 of the Manual of the Irvine Division of the Academic Senate. Vacancies for the Committee on Committees shall be conducted in accordance with Bylaw 182 of the Manual of the Irvine Division of the Academic Senate.
  4. Temporary vacancies should be filled by appointment until the occupant of that position is again available for service. Such a temporary appointment ordinarily will have a term of one or more complete academic quarters.
  5. Request the resignation of any appointee who has failed or is unable to execute their responsibilities, and as needed initiate the process of revocation per Bylaw 155 (D) of the Manual of the Irvine Division of the Academic Senate.
    1. When requesting a resignation, the Committee on Committees shall give notice to the appointee, including the reasons for the proposed revocation, and provide the appointee with an opportunity to respond within ten (10) calendar days. The Committee on Committees will also notify the Chair of the committee on which the appointee serves, and the Chair of the Division.
    2. If after reviewing the appointee’s response, the Committee on Committees still deems it appropriate to request a resignation, or if the appointee declines to resign, then the matter will be brought to the Division per Bylaw 155 (D) of the Manual of the Irvine Division of the Academic Senate.
    3. Reasons for removal may include, but are not limited to, holding an administrative title as defined in Bylaw 35 (F) of the Manual of the Irvine Division of the Academic Senate, lack of participation or poor attendance, and conflicts of interest not previously known to the committee.
