Bylaws of the Faculty/Staff Club


Membership

Membership in the club is open to any UNM staff and faculty member, and to any UNM retiree or emeriti faculty, subject to the limitation of any waiting list. A membership committee will consider all requests for membership. Monthly dues are deducted from employees payroll, after the employee signs an approval form for this purpose. Members choosing to resign from the club can do so using the same form which is used to join the club. After a member resigns, re-membership in the club may be subject to a wait-list status. Once a member joins the club they gain physical access to the club using their LoboCard and they are added to the club's email list-serve for announcements. Effective date: August 1, 2007.

Guests

Club members are allowed to bring in one guest to any general function of the club, unless otherwise noted for a special event. Effective date: August 1, 2007.

Parking

2-hour parking tokens are for the use of club members only, and can only be used for attending functions at the club or for personal use of the club facilities. Parking tokens are not to be used by members so that they may attend another meeting or function elsewhere on campus. Members using a token will be asked to sign a register. Effective date: April 19, 2007.

External Food

Members may bring into the club facility, and they may consume in the club, external food or drink if it is required for dietary purposes, or for other personal reasons. We encourage members to purchase food and drink at the club as these revenues offset our expenses for labor at the club.

Alcohol

Under no circumstances is alcohol which is purchased privately to be brought into the club or consumed in the club, unless authorized as part of an official club activity. We have a guest use of the UNM-vendor's beer and wine license and must obey strict state rules; any violations may result in our loss of this privilege on campus. Members who might appear to FSCA staff to be near the age of 21 may be asked to show valid ID prior to alcohol purchase. Members who appear intoxicated to the alcohol server may be denied service. The periods of time for which alcohol may be served is governed by the Club's Board of Directors in compliance with University and State rules. Effective date: January 10, 2006.

Facility Use

Members (and non-members for a fee) may use any and all facilities of the club, with the exception that reserving the entire club during normal operating hours is a prerogative only of the Board of Directors. Use of the facility by members during non-operating hours can be arranged for a fee. Effective date: August 1, 2007.

Room Bookings

Policies can be found on the Room Bookings page.

Dress Code

The club observes the same dress code as the University at large: comfortable for the situation and time of year. Effective date: August 1, 2007.

Retiree and Emeriti Dues

Members who are not on the automatic payroll deduction system of the University can pay their dues by check, annually. The Board of Directors certifies the dues each year prior to July 1 and makes announcements as to where the checks should be sent. Effective date: August 1, 2007.

Guest Memberships

Guests of the University, such as visiting faculty, may become members of the club. A member of the club must petition the club for such a guest membership. The Board will waive the requirement of a waiting list status, and they will waive the requirement for payroll deduction if the guest will pay by check for the length of their stay. Effective date: August 1, 2007.

Pets and Smoking

No pets are allowed in the club facility, and no smoking or tobacco products are allowed in or around the facility. Effective date: August 1, 2007.
