Faculty Council

The UNCSA Faculty Council serves as the executive committee of the faculty, and is convened between meetings of the faculty to advise the Chancellor on matters pertaining to the institution that are of interest and concern to the members of the faculty.

Matters of interest brought to the Faculty Council are discharged to the five faculty standing committees: Campus Development, Educational Policies, Faculty Development, Faculty Rank, and Faculty Welfare. In turn, analysis and advice conveyed to the Faculty Council by these standing committees is communicated to the Chancellor and the faculty as deemed appropriate. Actions are reported in the Council's minutes, reports, motions and resolutions.

Next Faculty Council Meeting: Tue. Dec. 10, 12:45-1 p.m.
