Council meets monthly to make decisions regarding academic governance of the Faculty. Together with its standing committees, it is responsible for Faculty policy development and implementation in areas such as curriculum, academic planning, academic petitions, research, tenure and promotions, academic honesty, and student success.
All faculty, staff, students and members of the public are welcome to attend LA&PS Council meetings, but only elected members can vote.
Faculty Council recognizes the importance of cultivating a culture of fairness, equity, diversity and inclusion. Faculty Council ensures that these essential principles are integrated into the Faculty’s policies, programs, operations and practices.
