An act establishing a formal process for presidential nominations to receive council advice. Be it enacted by the ASEWU Council that: SECTION 1: Purpose To ensure that all ASEWU Presidential nominations are made with the advice of the ASEWU Council. SECTION 2: Committee Structure All appointments made by the ASEWU President, as defined in the ASEWU Constitution, shall be interviewed by a hiring committee of the ASEWU prior to the appointment. This committee shall be established upon notification that a vacancy has or will occur in a position requiring appointment. Each committee will be composed of: - The ASEWU President.
- At least three voting members of the ASEWU Council (excluding the Executive Vice-President).
- Any other person/persons that the ASEWU Council sees fit.
- When appointing Executive Assistants, any other ASEWU Executive.
- When Appointing an ASEWU Superior Court Justice, the ASEWU Superior Court Chief Justice.
In the case that three voting members of the ASEWU Representatives are not willing to serve on the interviewing committee, then all of the members not willing to serve on the committee must present a signed waiver to the Council and gallery at an ASEWU Council meeting, stating that they realize they are giving up their right to provide input into the nomination process and why they cannot serve on the committee. These explanations could be used as grounds for nonperformance of Duties. SECTION 3: Committee Recruitment To allow ASEWU Representatives to be involved in the Interviewing process, notice of establishing an interviewing committee must be provided to all ASEWU Representatives in written form. Sign-up sheets will then be provided in the ASEWU office. After at least one (1) week the committee shall establish meeting times. The interviewing committee will announce their meeting times to the gallery at ASEWU council meeting, one (1) week prior to the interviews. SECTION 4: Interview Procedure The position being filled must be advertised and open to potential applicants for at least one week. Then the Interviewing Committee can send invitations to candidates for interviews. The interviews shall be conducted in a question and answer format with the following provisions: - Each member involved must attend all interviews;
- There shall be an established evaluation system before any interviews are held; and
- Applicants that are tied after the first interview will be invited for a second interview before the same committee at which time new questions shall be asked.
SECTION 5: Candidate Selection With exception of the ASEWU President, each member of the committee shall complete an evaluation on each applicant. After all evaluations are complete the Interviewing Committee as a group will prioritize the candidates for appointment. The president shall take this list into consideration but it is his/her nomination. If the president nominates a candidate that is not congruent with the Interviewing Committee, the president must announce such during discussion of the appointment and give reasons why. SECTION 6: Interim Appointments The ASEWU council may, by a majority vote, authorize the ASEWU President to make an interim appointment pending the interview process outlined in this bylaw. SECTION 7: Rescinded Bylaw 03-04/123A is hereby rescinded. SPONSOR: Cassandra Weaver-Sykes COMMITTEE REFERRAL:Review and Proposal
