PURPOSE: The purpose of this rule is to designate committees of the Board of Curators and set forth various policies with regard to the operation of such committees. This rule may be found at section 3.0102.3 of the Collected Rules and Regulations of the University of Missouri.

1. (1) The president of the board, subject to approval of the board, shall appoint from the board an executive committee of three
2. (3) members, and may fill vacancies at any time. The president of the board shall be a member ex officio of the committee and may vote in the absence of any one (1) of the committee members. Such executive committee members shall hold office until their successors have been duly appointed. The executive committee, when the Board of Curators is not in session, shall have the powers of the Board of Curators to take such action as the executive committee may deem to the best interest of the university, provided, however, that such action shall be in accord with the provisions of the bylaws of the board, and not in conflict with the standing rules of the board. A complete record of all actions of the executive committee shall be kept by the secretary of the board and a copy of such record shall be submitted to each member of the Board of Curators monthly. Actions of the executive committee may be ratified, approved or modified at the next meeting of the Board of Curators, but any modifications shall be prospective only. The vote of any members on any question coming before the committee may be taken in person, by telephone, telegraph or letter. Concurrence of three (3) members shall constitute action of the committee.
3. (2) The president of the Board of Curators may appoint, subject to approval of the board, other standing or special committees from time-to-time and delegate to the committees such authority as the board may deem appropriate to carry out the objects of the committees. Membership on such committees need not be limited to members of the board.
4. (3) Five (5) members of the Board of Curators shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of any and all business of the board.
5. (4) Any action by the Board of Curators may be taken by the majority vote of the members present at any meeting of the board when a quorum is present unless otherwise specifically provided in this rule.
6. (5) The secretary of the Board of Curators shall keep the minutes of the meetings of the Board of Curators in which shall be recorded the vote on all motions or resolutions coming before the board. The ayes and nays shall be entered if requested by any one of the curators present at such meeting.
7. (6) So much of the authority of the board as the curators may deem necessary may be delegated to such officers and employees or to committees appointed by the board provided such delegation of powers shall be given by recorded board action.
