Faculty Council

What does the Faculty Council Do?

The Faculty Council is the public voice of the College of Education faculty and community. It is a representative body with monthly meetings attended by the Dean or the Dean's appointed representative.

• The Council brings public attention to issues of concern. Anyone can confidentially contact a department representative or Chair with a public concern affecting the College of Education or our community. Agenda items are discussed collectively with the Dean at the monthly meetings.

• The Council has a consultative role in advising the Dean on policy and supporting shared governance.

• The Council monitors conditions in the College and University and can express concern as a collective on behalf of faculty and the community (writing letters and issuing policy statements).

• The Council also has a forensic function to gather and disseminate information of importance to the faculty and the community (distributing electronic documents and holding Town Halls).
