*Full professors whose primary or fully joint appointments are in a Faculty of Arts and Sciences or School of Engineering and Applied Science department may vote in the JBPO, as may full professors of professional schools who have both secondary appointments in a Faculty of Arts and Sciences or SEAS department and explicit Corporation approval for such voting rights. The only exception to this rule is for those faculty in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry who are assigned to vote in the School of Medicine’s Board of Permanent Officers and therefore may not vote in the JBPO of Yale College and the Graduate School. By long-standing custom, a quorum for the conduct of business at a meeting of the Joint Boards consists of 37 members eligible to vote. No vote has force if the number of votes, plus recorded abstentions, falls short of that number. Tenure appointments are forwarded to the Corporation only upon an affirmative vote by two-thirds of the members present and eligible to vote. All other appointments are approved by majority vote. (Faculty Handbook, Section IV.F.5)
