Are the standing committees of the faculty subcommittees of the Faculty Council?
No. For the most part, the standing committees of the faculty (which are established in Article 4 of the Faculty Code) are not subcommittees of the Faculty Council. Instead, the committees — with the exception of the Faculty Council Committee on Fixed-Term Faculty (whose members are chosen from among those elected to the Council) and the Agenda Committee — are free-standing, independent committees either elected directly by the Voting Faculty or appointed by the Chair of the Faculty or the Chancellor. The committees do report annually to the Faculty Council and sometimes propose resolutions for Faculty Council action, and members of the Faculty Executive Committee and the Faculty Assembly Delegation serve as ex officio members of the Council, but otherwise the committees operate alongside the Council and largely independent of it.
