Faculty Council
The Faculty Council of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is an elected body that includes membership from the libraries and each school on the campus. The Council’s main functions fall into two areas: legislative and advisory. In its legislative capacity, the Council discusses and votes on educational policies, rules and regulations; the undergraduate curriculum; recommendations for honorary degrees and special awards; and regulations governing student conduct that affect academic standards or performance. It also votes on amendments to the Faculty Code brought forth by the Faculty Committee on University Government. Some of the advisory functions of the Faculty Council includes making recommendations to academic units, providing advice to the chancellor, and discussing matters relating to the life of the University and its betterment.
