Guidelines for Guild Appointees
Guild Appointee to Governance Committee
As an appointee to a governance committee, your duty is to contribute your considered thought and preparation to produce the best possible policy for the college. As a Guild appointee, it is imperative that you bring a special sensitivity to issues and concerns of the Guild. As you are no doubt aware, the Senate addresses the academic and professional aspect of our role as faculty, while the Guild addresses wages, benefits, and working conditions. (By the way, there is some overlapping of concerns between the Guild and Senate. e.g., both have an interest in the hiring and evaluation of faculty, but they come at them from different angles.)
It is not always easy to understand what falls into the purview of the Guild and we hope that this guide will be of some help. Consultation with the Guild president or the Guild Executive can supplement this guide.
