Faculty and Staff Organizations

The Faculty Representative Assembly
The overall goal of the Representative Assembly (RA) is to provide for faculty participation in college governance. The specific objectives of the RA are:
  1. To encourage communication across the diverse disciplines and departments of the College and between the faculty and college administration.
  2. To approve academic policies and proposals involving college curricula, majors, minors, interdisciplinary programs, and student admission/graduation requirements.
  3. To establish, staff and monitor college committees and designated college representation on university council/committees.
  4. To consider all policies and procedures to promote college development and faculty welfare, acting in coordination with the Faculty Senate and including conduct of a five-year evaluation of the college dean.

The RA is a representative body of the college faculty endowed with the powers to achieve its goal and objectives. It may act on any matter pertaining to the functions of the college brought to it by faculty, students or administrative staff.
