Faculty Committees Clause Samples

The Faculty Committees clause establishes the formation and operation of committees composed of faculty members within an academic institution.

Faculty Committees. Serving on Department and College-wide committees and task forces constitutes service. Non-instructional administrative or other work contributions by Core Faculty also constitutes service. All committees are not created equal. As such, the Faculty Senate will annually review the required work of committee members in order to ensure that institutional service is completed and that it is balanced among the Faculty.
