Committees
According to the Faculty Code, all of the faculty committees with the exception of the Faculty Council Agenda Committee are standing committees of the faculty, not subcommittees of the Faculty Council. Each committee reports annually to the Faculty Council, but otherwise, the committees conduct their work independently of the Council, and the memberships of the committees and Council do not generally overlap to a great extent.
All faculty governance committees fall under one of three categories: elected, appointed and ad hoc according to the Faculty Code of University Government. They are listed below in alphabetical order. Each committee’s page includes links to the committee’s current charge, current committee rosters, past committee reports, and sometimes, other related documents and materials.
