Voting Procedures
***All committee deliberations and votes are personnel actions and should be treated with confidentiality in accordance with policy and law. By majority vote the committee may at any time move to executive session, from which some or all non-voting participants may be excluded to ensure such confidentiality.
The SOM allows and encourages full-time clinical, research, and lecturer-track faculty to participate in the official departmental faculty meeting. The department chair and/or the department faculty should initiate a procedure to be used by the department to facilitate their participation.
