Excerpt from: Section IV. Faculty Committees, ARTICLE 1. STATEMENT REGARDING THE PHILOSOPHY OF COMMITTEE WORK

"Through its committees the faculty as a whole is subdivided into small groups for the purpose of more intensive discussion of particular issues and to formulate and project specific means for implementing policies decided upon. Long-range planning should be a function of each committee. Each faculty committee is responsible to the faculty as a whole, from which it derives its ultimate authorization. This responsibility should be expressed through the free flow of information between the faculty and its committees."

"Insofar as possible, routine administrative matters, involving judicious application of already existing rules and recognized procedures, should not be the concern of committees of the faculty, but rather of the administrative officers of the College. The committees of the faculty should be concerned with formulation of positions and means of implementation in areas which affect the functioning of Monmouth College as an academic community."
