Common use of COACHES COMMITTEE Clause in Contracts

COACHES COMMITTEE. Section 1. For purposes of addressing areas of common concern and interest of the COACHES to appropriate UNIVERSITY officials and/or organizations, the COACHES at each UNIVERSITY shall organize themselves into a committee. Failure by the COACHES to establish a committee as provided for herein shall not be subject to the grievance and arbitration procedure. This committee may elect a chairperson and determine how it will organize itself in order to conduct business. The establishment of this committee does not imply a role in administering the athletic program; rather it is to address the concerns of the COACHES as a group. Examples of these areas of concern include, but are not limited to: office space, equipment and secretarial/support staff, evaluation procedures, representation of COACHES in appropriate UNIVERSITY-wide committees (e.g., parking, advising, financial aid, facilities, calendar, health and safety, search committee), liaison with faculty, administration, professional development and long-range planning. Section 2. The chairperson serves as the chief representative and spokesperson of the COACHES committee to the UNIVERSITY community. In all phases of committee affairs, the chairperson shall be sensitive to and reflect, but not be restricted to, majority sentiment.
