University faculty meetings are held once each year in August and on call by the president. At other times during the school year, college and departmental meetings are held.

           Attendance at commencement exercises is an important duty of faculty members and faculty administrators. While it would be desirable for every faculty member and faculty administrator to attend every commencement, a minimum requirement is that each faculty member and faculty administrator attend at least one commencement per year. Departments are required to guarantee that at least one-third of their faculty and faculty administrators attend the fall commencement exercise and two-thirds the spring exercise.
