The Executive Committee is charged with facilitating communications between faculty and the administration of the University and to assist in aligning AUFS activities to ensure the optimal support for faculty and the operations of the University.
The Executive Committee will set the dates and the agenda for Faculty Senate meetings and Assembly meetings.
The Executive Committee may propose new committees to serve the purposes of the Faculty Senate as part of shared governance. These committees must be approved by the Senate. The Executive Committee may also form ad hoc committees as needed to support the activities of the Senate, which do not require Senate approval. Other committees and work groups will be reviewed and incorporated in the AU system of shared governance as deemed appropriate.
