Role of Search Committee— Delegated Authority Model
OPMA defines governing board as including any committee thereof acting on board’s behalf. Search committee acts on board’s behalf if it has actual or de facto decision-making authority to narrow the applicant field. A committee with such delegated authority is itself subject to all OPMA requirements—meeting notices, executive session limitations, minutes, etc. Board can delegate authority to search consultant or staff to screen out applicants not meeting minimum qualifications.
