University Standing Committees — Section III

To improve communication and coordination between and among units, the University has created a number of Administrative and/or Coordinating Councils. These Councils play an important role in the execution and development of policy. Because of their importance in day-to-day operations of the University, liaison relationships have been established between many of these Councils and appropriate Standing Committees and well as the Faculty Senate. The Provost/Academic Vice President meets regularly with the Faculty Senate President to discuss the agenda and conclusions of the Dean's Council. The Councils supplement the role of Standing Committees in the formulation of policy.
