• Faculty Committee Preference Form/Governance Cycle

The Faculty Governance Committee (FGC) is now in the process of forming committees for the 2013-2014 governance cycle.  The committee asks all tenure track-track and tenured faculty members to complete a faculty committee preference sheet, ranking their top five preferences.  Please complete The Faculty Committee Preference form no later than Thursday, February 6, 2013.

The next academic year will see a modification in the system of soliciting faculty preferences for committee service.  Beginning with the Fall 2013 semester, the FGC will no longer ask faculty to complete a new preference sheet every year.  Rather the committee will ask faculty to update their preference sheet only if those preferences have changed.

The FGC would also like to remind faculty that in making appointments to committees, the FGC needs to follow the rules stipulated by the faculty governance cycle.  This often means that we need to appoint people to committees for which they have not expressed a preference.

Thank-you very much.
