-5- H. General Charge to University Committees 1. Each committee shall concern itself with the six matters listed in Section B as these matters apply to the area assigned to the committee. 2. In terms consonant with Section A and Section C, the committee should at all times seek to advise the administration and to inform the several constituent assemblies on matters of concern. To this end, the committee's secretary may invite and inform other persons known to be concerned with the committee's work. Apart from this policy, there are no ex officio members of University committees under this Charter. 3. When requested by the President of the University, the committee shall be available to advise the President (1) on the methods of reviewing the functions which come within the scope of the committee's advisory role; (2) concerning the criteria for appointment of new University-wide administrative officers, some of whose functions come within the scope of the committee's advisory role; and (3) on the selection of such administrative officers. 4. Each committee shall maintain and transmit to succeeding committees an orderly file of all policy statements and a complete statement defining the function, responsibility and work of the committee. This file will be available to the public. 5. Each committee shall prepare in time for the spring organizational meeting a brief annual report summarizing committee activities for the past year and identifying current issues and future questions for the guidance of the succeeding committee. This annual report is to be distributed in the same manner as the committee's minutes. It should also be summarized for publication in For Your Information (FYI) and The Daily Iowan. 6. Each secretary will convey the files of the committee to the successor secretary. At convenient times, as these files accumulate in the Office of the President and in the files of each of the constituencies and are no longer needed by others for current reference, they shall be transferred to the University Archives. At that time, the executive officers of the various constituent assemblies may direct, if they wish, the destruction of their copies of the committee records. 7. Committee members shall neither expect nor accept by reason of their service on the committee any gratuities, rewards, or perquisites including tickets. Preferential treatment shall not be given to any committee member by virtue of service on the committee.
