Key abbreviations for the table survey responses:

ax = appointed/ex officio
e = elected
x = ex officio

The first entry under the committee headings tells how the members of the committee are selected and the second how the chair is selected. Thus ax-a stands for a committee whose members are appointed and/or ex officio and whose chair is appointed.

The table was prepared by Jean A. Larson (jal@math.ufl.edu), Chair of the Faculty Senate on October 23, 2002.
