Academic Advisory Council

The Academic Advisory Council is comprised primarily of faculty members as well as key recruitment and retention staff members. Members were identified in partnership with Faculty Senate leadership and academic deans. The group will meet monthly to review, respond to and provide feedback on the data and analyses generated by the Provost’s Office related to academic transformation, such as program review, instructional efficiencies, and academic structural changes. Members are expected to provide feedback, suggest changes and evaluate recommendations.
