Secretariat

The Office of the Executive Director shall solicit member schools to form a consortium to serve as Secretariat.  One school shall be asked to serve as lead school and shall provide the Secretary General, Secretariat Advisor, administrative or other staff and perhaps one or more Committee chair groups.  The remaining school or schools shall provide one or more chair groups and whatever support services and personnel they may be able to provide to the lead school.

2a.           In the absence of a lead school, the Executive Director shall solicit applications for the position of Secretary General by appropriate means.  The final selection shall be by the Board of Directors.

2b.           The Secretary General so selected shall have the full responsibilities as accorded to a Secretary General selected by a host school.

If no lead school has been selected, the Secretariat Advisor shall be selected by the Board of Directors.

Faculty Advisors

Definition

Any individual that the department or institution recognizes as having responsibility for the Model United Nations course or program qualifies as a MUNFW faculty advisor.

Delegation Advisors

While the MUNFW is essentially a student organized and conducted activity, it is also an institutional commitment and the Faculty Advisor is ultimately responsible to the participating colleges and universities for the preparation, performance and conduct of the student organization.

The Advisor in no way replaces the student Delegation Chair, but aids and advises in the development of the Model United Nations program on each campus and serves, in the long run, as the continuity for this activity.

Advisors may not be a voting delegate to the Annual Session except to the Membership or to an ad hoc or standing committee appointed by this body.

Advisors are not allowed on the floor of the General Assembly or of the various committees, councils, etc., but may observe all proceedings and communicate with their delegates during the actual conduct of the meetings in writing only.

MUNFW is concerned with the maintenance of a proper role for delegates.  It is not proper for an Advisor to require, as a basis for grading, specifications such as number of speeches, election to Rapporteur, resolution submissions, or other similar requirements.

The Advisor will actively assist the delegation in fund-raising both on and off the campus.

It is strongly urged that Member Schools create a Chapter Charter/By-laws.  These regulations should include:

Membership policy

Expulsion of members policy

The role, responsibilities, and authority of the Faculty Advisor

The role, responsibilities, and authority of the Delegation chair

An internal conflict resolution procedure.

In the absence of such regulations, the Faculty Advisor, in consultation with the Delegation Chair, or in accordance with the institution or Associated Student Organization regulations, may refuse to allow a student to participate in the MUNFW program.

Secretariat Advisor

Selection of a college or university as the Secretariat of a Session of the MUNFW is an institution honor and the commitment to host a forthcoming Session is not merely a pledge by a participating group of students, but it is an obligation assumed by the entire institution, as expressed in the original bid.  The Faculty Advisor, therefore, is the only person who can serve as the institution representative and s/he shares responsibility with the students in the Secretariat for all aspects of the Session.

The Secretary General and members of the Secretariat are, of course, the persons directly responsible for planning and the execution of the Substantive portion of the Annual Session, but this does not relieve the Faculty Advisor of a key role in these activities.  S/he must work closely with the Secretariat while giving great latitude to the students for the ultimate decisions.  If major problems arise within the Secretariat, the advise of the Faculty Advisor, as the institutional representative, must be considered by the Secretary General.  In the case of irreconcilable conflicts, provisions of Paragraph 5 will apply, but it is essential to do the utmost to preserve the student character and orientation of the MUNFW.

The Advisor will actively assist the Secretariat in fund raising, both on and off campus, and will be kept fully informed by the appropriate student fiscal officer of the state of the finances of the Secretariat.

It is strongly urged that the college and university submitting a bid as a potential host Secretariat will have a Faculty Advisor who has attended at least one Annual Session of the MUNFW prior to the Session in which it submits a bid and who will be at the institution as an advisor the next two (2) years after selection as the host school.

While the Secretary General must have primary responsibility for the assignment Secretariat personnel, the Faculty Advisor has the final authority to make whatever changes s/he deems necessary within the Secretariat after due consideration with all concerned including other students and faculty institutional representatives.  In the event the Advisor or Secretary General wishes outside guidance whenever a situation develops which may jeopardize the preparation for and the conduct of a Session, consultation will be held with the Board of the MUNFW, Inc. (as agent for Membership) and its decisions shall be binding.

The Secretariat Advisor may create an Advisor's Workshop for the purpose of assisting with the development of a wide-range, on-campus Model United Nations program.
