• The Chair establishes the agenda in consultation with the Vice President of Student Life/Dean of Students.
• The committee meets regularly to advise the Vice President of Student Life/Dean of Students and Student Government President.
• The committee reviews the by-laws of new student organizations and makes recommendations to the Vice President of Student Life/Dean of Students concerning recognition of such groups.
• The committee reviews all major changes in rules and regulations affecting the extracurricular life of students and proposes new or revised rules and regulations to the faculty and/or administration for approval.
• The committee may elect to review the activities of existing student organizations toward the end of making recommendations for revision or improvement.
• Periodically the committee expands its membership and serves as an open forum so as to expedite communication among the members of the student body, the faculty, staff, and administration. When it does this, it promotes the discussion of ideas, opportunities, programs, and complaints and recommends studies to appropriate agencies, offices, or people.
• The Vice-Chair of the committee serves as Secretary of the committee and keeps records of the meetings.

Methods of Reporting To the Campus Community

The Committee Chair will submit a written annual report to Academic Council. On matters deemed to be of general concern, the Council may request that the committee report directly to the faculty.
