Section 8-B902. PROCEDURE FOR WITHDRAWAL OF RECOGNITION
-
902.1Should the President of the University or any other member of the Board of Trustees of the University believe that just cause exists to withdraw recognition from the organization, such concerns shall be presented in executive session to the Board of Trustees.
902.2Upon the consensus of the Board of Trustees in executive session, that the concerns appear to be warranted, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees and the President of the University shall appoint a Special Committee to investigate the charges. The Chairman of the Board shall appoint to the Committee three Trustees who are not serving on the Board of the alumni organization. The President of the University shall appoint two additional persons to the Special Committee.
902.3The Special Committee shall review the evidence submitted and discovered in its investigation and determine whether such evidence indicates just cause by the organization, its officers, or its Board of Directors. If so, it will develop specific charges of misconduct and notify the Board of Directors of the organization of the charges.
902.4If the Special Committee has credible evidence that the assets of the organization are in jeopardy, it shall cause counsel to seek whatever legal remedies may maintain the status quo during the Board's investigation and determination process.
902.5The Special Committee shall afford the Board of Directors an opportunity to address the Special Committee concerning the charges and any evidence relevant to either support or refute the charges.
902.6Proceedings before the Special Committee shall not be adversarial, but shall be investigative.
902.7If the Special Committee concludes, by a simple majority, that recognition should be withdrawn from the organization, it shall propose a resolution to that effect to the Board of Trustees, with its reasons and evidence.
902.8Consideration by the Board of Trustees of a recommendation from the Special Committee shall be conducted in public at a regular or special meeting of the Board.
902.9A spokesperson for the Board of Directors of the organization shall be allowed to address the Board of Trustees on the charges.
902.10A vote to withdraw recognition must carry by two-thirds of the Trustees present and voting.
902.11If the Board of Trustees votes to withdraw recognition, it shall promptly move to enjoin the organization from any further use of the name and logos of the University, from any further activities on behalf of the University, and for an accounting of all its funds and assets.
