The Faculty Council is a body of elected delegates that provide the means by which the faculty can expeditiously discharge its responsibility to deal with and initiate educational and academic policy matters which transcend departmental responsibilities. Councilors are the faculty’s voice and liaison with the Dean’s Office and the Chair’s Council.
