RE:                 Proposed CVPA By-Law Change

The CVPA International Arts Task Force recommends that the CVPA Faculty Assembly establish a standing CVPA International Arts Committee, adding the following language to the current CVPA By-Laws 

International Arts Committee  

a.         The International Arts Committee shall serve as a liaison with the Dean and the Faculty to foster increased international activities for the students, CVPA faculty and Winthrop community.  The committee shall meet at the call of its Chair.  Responses to matters referred to the International Arts Committee by the Dean shall be reported to the Dean and may be reported to the Faculty Assembly as deemed appropriate.  

b.         The committee shall consist of five faculty members, including at least one member elected by each department (Art & Design, Theatre & Dance, Music) and two members elected by the Faculty Assembly, and the CVPA Coordinator of Student Services and CVPA Associate Dean.  Term of office shall be two years.  Terms of the faculty representatives shall be staggered.  The CVPA Associate Dean shall serve as chair of the committee. 

This proposal will be presented for approval at the January 21^st Faculty Assembly of the College of Visual and Performing Arts.
