Committee membership — term start

term start (CommitteeMembership.termStart) is a field stored on each committee membership record in Chalk, the higher-education academic operations platform for curriculum, assessment, faculty, scheduling, accreditation, and budget. It holds a DateTime value and is part of the committee membership record's data. The termStart field belongs to the committee membership it is recorded on, so faculty, staff, and automations read or set termStart while working with that CommitteeMembership record. Because termStart is part of the CommitteeMembership record, it stays consistent with the rest of that record's data and is scoped to the tenant that owns the committee membership.
