Faculty Affairs Advisory Council (FAAC)

The FAAC advises the Office of Faculty Affairs on a wide range of topics including the development and implementation of policies to address emerging needs of faculty members and academic administrators; faculty development needs and offerings; and initiatives designed to promote equity.

The composition of this group primarily consists of academic administrators who have faculty affairs as a meaningful part of their portfolio. University Faculty Senate leaders are also invited to attend.
