of the four-year public institutions of higher education in
the State of Ohio (see current Membership).

from among the membership of the OFC.
* The Chair must have been a member of the OFC in the
previous year.

Executive Committee who is not being considered for
re-election or by a designated member of the OFC who is not
being considered for a position on the Executive Committee.
* The Executive Committee shall appoint a member of the OFC
to be the delegate to the Ohio Faculty Senate of Community
and Technical Colleges. The Executive Committee may also
appoint committees to assist in carrying out the business
