Section 2: Board of Regents
2.20 Committees

The Board may appoint standing and ad hoc committees to assist in carrying out its business. Members of such committees need not be members of the Board. The Board shall elect a committee Chair and establish Terms of Reference that define purpose, composition, responsibilities, and accountabilities. Ad hoc committees are established to address specific issues and are dissolved after completion of their mandate.

Unless otherwise determined by the Board, quorum for the transaction of business shall be a simple majority of members. Questions arising at a committee meeting shall be determined by a simple majority of the members present. The Chair of the meeting is entitled to vote. In the case of an equality of votes, the question is deemed to be negatived.

Meetings of committees are confidential and decisions and discussion taken in those meetings are only to be shared with Regents or as approved by the Board.
