University Committees – University committees are composed of members of both the faculty and staff. Committee assignments are reviewed annually by the Faculty Senate Committee on Committees. New members are selected from across the University System such that, as much as possible, all campuses have representation on committees. After a committee assignment is completed, the committee member rotates off for at least one year. Term dates for committees begin on August 1 and expire on July 31. Most assignments are for two years; however, specific positions may be permanent or only for one year. Being selected to serve on a university committee requires the employee to actively participate in the committee as a part of regular duties and responsibilities.
