FACULTY GOVERNACE (FALL 1999 )

The Faculty Council and the University Council advise the president on policy matters affecting the faculty and the operation of the university. The University Council reviews and makes recommendations about changes in curriculum and degree requirements and approves the academic calendar before those issues are brought to the faculty for decision. Eight members of the Faculty Council serve on the University Council with the president, as chair, who appoints three members (currently the provost and two faculty members). Other University Council members include one staff member, two undergraduate students, and one graduate student. The Faculty Council is composed of 16 members: eight who serve only on the Faculty Council and eight who also serve on the University Council.
