Editor:
In light of recent references to the Committee of Eleven, I thought it might be useful to provide some information about its history, charge and membership.
The Committee of Eleven was initiated by President Harvill, who invited individual members of the faculty to confer and to advise on matters of university policy. As the Constitution was adopted, at the time the Faculty Senate came into being, the Committ ee of Eleven was continued as a body, and its members were thenceforth determined by faculty-wide election.
The Constitution of the General Faculty of the University of Arizona provides in Article V, Section 3, that:
The Committee of Eleven shall:
a. Initiate, promote, and stimulate study and action dealing with and looking toward solution of situations and problems of interest and concern to the faculty and the university.
b. Make reports to the General Faculty or the Faculty Senate.
c. Speak for the General Faculty as and when authorized by the General Faculty.
The current membership of the Committee of Eleven is: Lawrence M. Aleamoni, Chair, Anita H. Bhappu, Roger L. Caldwell, Robert D. Feltham, J. D. Garcia, Joann E. Glittenberg, C. Scott Jacobs, Donald E. Myers, John E. Schwarz, Andrew Silverman, Miklos N. Sz ilagyi, Patrick Williams and Marlys H. Witte.
