Faculty actively participate in shared governance via several mechanisms, including the Faculty Senate. All contracted and salaried faculty are expected to serve on committees dependent upon their FTE in addition to their regular participation in the Faculty Senate. Full-time faculty and program directors are required to participate in at least two college committees.
Committee membership appointments —both standing and ad hoc— are adjudicated by the Faculty Senate with the goal of ensuring balanced representation across all committees.
Standing committees shall include:
- Curriculum Committee
- Policy Committee
- Admissions Committee
- Learning Assessment Committee
- Program Review Committee
- Interprofessional Education (IPE)
Ad-Hoc committees may be named as necessary. The Chairperson of each committee shall arrange meeting times and dates as often as necessary to complete the charge set forth by the College administration.
Adjunct faculty are encouraged to attend committee meetings. They are also welcome to attend any regularly scheduled faculty senate meeting or department-specific faculty meeting, although neither are required.
