Re:          School Constitutions

I am pleased to report that the school constitutions approved by the President and Board of Directors are now available on a university website: https://governance.georgetown.edu/.<http://links.georgetown.mkt6170.com/ctt?kn=1&ms=MjM2MDE0OTIS1&r=NzE1OTM1MTYyNTMS1&b=0&j=NjQyNzA0NTIwS0&mt=1&rt=0>

∙            McCourt School of Public Policy
∙            McDonough School of Business
∙            School of Continuing Studies
∙            Graduate School of Arts and Sciences

Among other things, the constitutions define the faculty governance body for the school, the powers of that body, and an amendment procedure for revising the constitution.  While you should always consult with your school constitution for specific amendment requirements, Lisa Krim (Senior Advisor to the President for Faculty Relations) and Ed Quinn (University Secretary) have prepared the following general checklist as a guide to the expectations of the President and Board of Directors for revising a school constitution.

 1.          Internal School Consultation/Approval
              a.          Review by full faculty of the School
              b.         School faculty governance body
              c.          Dean

 2.          Campus Review
              a.          Campus faculty governance body
              b.          Campus EVP

 3.          University Review
              a.          Faculty Senate Steering Committee/Faculty Senate review
              b.         President

 4.          Approval by the Board of Directors
