G. Faculty Jurisdiction

The Faculty shall have the right to review, rescind, or recommit with instruction any action passed by the Senate on written petition of not less than fifteen percent of the membership of the Faculty. Such appeals shall be made in writing within four weeks of the Senate action to the Senate president. The Senate president shall call a special meeting of the Faculty to review the action and consider the instructions presented in the petition. The agenda for this meeting will be distributed to the full Faculty at least one week before the meeting. If a full Faculty vote is necessary it shall be done by secret ballot returned to a central location. A motion shall require a majority vote of the entire faculty membership to pass.
