style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Article VII: 
Attendance At Biennial ICPSR Meeting In Ann Arbor


style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">

 


According to the terms of
the agreement with ICPSR in Ann Arbor, CSU is entitled to send up to ten
participants to the Meeting of Official Representatives of ICPSR. style="mso-spacerun: yes">  Selection will be as follows:


style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">

 


1. style="mso-tab-count: 1">        
The CSU, SSRIC Chair at the time of the ICPSR Meeting shall be one of the
CSU, SSRIC representatives attending the ICPSR meeting. style="mso-spacerun: yes">  If the Council Chair or other designated
attendees are unable to attend, the campus next in line on the rotating list
will be designated.

style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">

 


2. style="mso-tab-count: 1">                    
The Council will select the other 
campuses on a rotating basis at the Spring Council meeting prior to the
ICPSR meeting.  If a campus entitled
to send a representative cannot do so, the campus will not lose its position on
the rotating list.


style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">

 


3. style="mso-tab-count: 1">                    
As many  participants will be
funded to attend the ICPSR meeting as can be fully supported by ICPSR or
Non-ICPSR funds. 

style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">

 


4. style="mso-tab-count: 1">                    
If any campus is not represented at a minimum of one SSRIC meeting during
the academic year prior to the ICPSR meeting, that campus will be moved to the
bottom of the rotation list.


style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">

 


style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Rationale: The intent of this proposed change is to
allow campuses to send someone other than the OR to the biennial meetings of the
ICPSR.  The ICPSR already permits
this.  A number of CSU campuses now
have alternates on the SSRIC.  Jim
Gerber, although he is the sole SDSU representative on the SSRIC, is not the
ICPSR OR.  Last time, there was a
request from Bakersfield to send someone other than the OR. style="mso-spacerun: yes">  Though she ended up not going, the
request was approved.  However,
since no one else had wanted to go, I doubt that this would have procedural
value.

updated version of the SSRIC By- Laws will be attached to the emailed version of
the minutes, and posted on the SSDBA web site.)
