SECTION 15: AMENDMENT PROCEDURES

An individual faculty member or group of faculty members may propose an amendment to the Faculty Personnel Procedures.  An amendment must be presented to the faculty at one regular faculty meeting and voted on at the next regularly scheduled faculty meeting.  Amendments must be submitted to the Handbook Committee, and the Handbook Committee will coordinate the presentation and vote on the amendments.  Amendments must be approved by a majority vote of the faculty.  Amendments to the Personnel Procedures must then be approved by the Board of Trustees of Simpson College or their designee.  Approved amendments to the Personnel Procedures will go into effect at the start of the next academic year, unless a different effective date is approved by a two-thirds majority vote of the faculty.
