present.
- Committee reports placed on the agenda should be presented
by a representative of that committee, who shall have the implied
consent
of the Senate to speak
during the debate concerning that report.
- Faculty who are not members of the Senate may be present at
Senate meetings but shall not be entitled to vote or make motions.
- With the consent of a majority of senators present, the President
