Administration
Academic Council
The Academic Council is the executive body of the Faculty Senate. It is chaired by the Dean of Faculty and is comprised of the Deans, all academic Department Chairs, the Director of Evaluation, the Director of the Library, the Registrar, and the First-Year Coordinator. The Faculty Senate (all full-time faculty) has ultimate responsibility for all academic affairs of the University. Major academic issues are discussed and decided by the Academic Council at its semi-monthly meetings. The Academic Council reviews all decisions of Faculty Senate committees and monitors academic programs. The Academic Council reports routine academic committee decisions directly to the Faculty Senate for final approval, generally through the Docket procedure.
