Duties. The Executive Board |
|
|
(1) |
is empowered to act upon all matters except legislation in
the name of the Los Angeles Division at times when the Legislative Assembly cannot readily
be convened or when haste is required. The Board shall thus act in the name of the
Division only when, in its judgment, the action is urgently advisable before the
Legislative Assembly can be convened. All such actions must be reported to the Legislative
Assembly at its next succeeding meeting; and the Assembly possesses the right to amend or
rescind such actions in the same manner in which it may amend or rescind action adopted at
preceding meetings of the Assembly itself. During an academic recess, the Board may act
provisionally for the Division on all matters except legislation. Such action is subject
to confirmation by the Legislative Assembly at the first regular or special meeting
following the recess. |

consults with and advises the Chair of the Division. When
appropriate the Board advises the Chair in matters requiring the coordination of budgetary
decisions, academic programs and policies, educational resources, and the general welfare
of the UCLA community. In the execution of this responsibility, the Division charges the
Executive Board with giving due consideration to studies and reports of the Division and
its committees and sets down as Board policy an open door practice in which chairs of
committees are to be consulted in matters regarding their respective jurisdictions;
correspondingly, chairs of committees should inform the Board well in advance of any
significant changes of policy that their groups have under active consideration. The Board
may refer questions to appropriate committees, or to special ad hoc committees it
may select when necessary. [Am 25 Apr 95] |

Board, arising either from resignation or from a declaration by the Committee on
Committees, shall be filled by the Legislative Assembly at its next opportunity. [En 25
