Committee Policies

Article I: The Purpose of a Committee

Our committee's primary goal is to create more meetings, not progress.

Section 1, Subsection 1: Meeting Frequency

We meet every Tuesday at noon, unless someone forgets to send out the agenda.

Section 1, Subsection 2: Agenda Preparation

We expect each member to prepare at least 3 hours' worth of material for every 30 minutes of the meeting.

Article II: Committee Etiquette

Please refrain from using the words "can I just..." or "can we just...".

• Use only the words "I request" or "we propose", or better yet, "we demand".
• Address the chairperson with respect and deference, even if they're clearly lost.
