Faculty Senate Executive Council is engaging in the important work of connecting with the committees that are the extensions of faculty governance throughout the University.  One of our current exciting projects seeks to enable and strengthen shared governance at the college level.  To this end, the Faculty Senate Executive Council created an opportunity for the chairs of the college-level faculty governance committees to meet with each other to share insights and experience.

Initiated by one of the faculty governance chairs, the first meeting saw a lively conversation about how the different colleges work, exploring diversity in our practices and finding common ground in our shared purpose.

At the conclusion of the meeting, faculty governance chairs expressed a renewed commitment to develop, maintain, and communicate the policy and procedures that genuinely protect academic quality and integrity.

The college-level faculty governance committees go by various names: FAC, PPBC, FGC… You can find the name of your college committee on this annotated Faculty Governance Organization Chart from the Faculty Senate web page.  Stay tuned for more opportunities to learn about faculty governance, and to engage with your college-level committees.
