Professors

Professors.

The University Faculty shall consist of the professors in the several departments of the University, and of assistant professors representing complete departments.

The assistant professors and instructors shall attend the Faculty meetings, shall participate in the consultations of the Faculty and give their opinions, but not vote.

All professors, assistant professors and instructors shall be members of the Faculties of the departments to which they respectively belong, and they may be members of as many different Faculties as the departments in which they may be giving instruction.

The University Faculty shall meet each week; other Faculties when called together by their dean or by the president of the University for consultation in regard to their special departments.

A majority in all cases shall constitute a quorum.

It is the duty of the professors and instructors to use their best efforts to carry into complete effect the laws of the Institution and the plan of management and organization, as adopted by the board or Legislature. They are constituted officers both of discipline and instruction. They are, in the recitation room and out of it, to use their influence and authority to preserve order and good conduct among the students, to bear a just proportion of such systems of visitation and moral influence as may be adopted in the Faculty for the benefit of students, and by all the means in their power to promote the reputation and welfare of the University.

The business of the Faculty at their meetings shall be, to consider the order and condition of the University, the conduct and progress of the students, to review the rolls, to administer discipline in cases which may be deemed worthy of Faculty notice, to make rules for the government of the students not inconsistent with those of the board, to consult in regard to advancing the interests of the University, to discuss questions of educational policy, or to hear and debate papers which may be presented by any of the instructional corps as may be agreed upon and thought best.

Professors are required to be punctually present at the daily convocation for worship in the chapel, and so far as in their power to give their aid in rendering the religious services appropriate and solemn.

The Faculty shall appoint a secretary who shall be a professor or teacher in the University, and who shall keep a faithful record of the members of the Faculty present and of the proceedings of each meeting of the Faculty, and enter the same in a permanent book, which shall be laid before the board for examination at each stated meeting, and he shall do such other business as properly pertains to his office.

The special or professional Faculties shall first pass upon all degrees, certificates or honors to be conferred in the respective departments, and report the same for the consideration and action of the University Faculty.
