Members of the faculty are those full-time persons holding the rank of professor, associate professor, assistant professor, or instructor.

All members of the faculty (as stated above), and certain administrative personnel as follows, irrespective of academic rank, have attendance and voting rights at faculty meetings:

• President of the University
• Provost
• Provost's Council
• Other members of the Administrative Cabinet
• Director of Advising

A non-voting student representative selected by the ASB officers is authorized to be present at all faculty meetings.

Regular participants may invite guests (including resource persons) on a meeting-by-meeting basis provided the host is identified and the guests are introduced at the beginning of the session. Such guests may have the right to the floor at the discretion of the chair, but not the privilege of voting.

Any change in this policy must originate with the Faculty Council, whether proposed by the Provost, a dean, Faculty Council, or the faculty itself, and must be approved by the faculty.
