Identification of IC Members

The Instructional Council (IC) membership is guided by the following Residential Faculty Policy (1.2.16. Instructional Councils)

Instructional councils are discipline/service area committees formed to improve communications and coordination among and between faculty working in common instructional /service areas.  Membership in the Faculty Instructional Councils will be appointed by the department/division chair at each college with the consent of the majority of the residential faculty in the appropriate discipline. The appointee will be qualified in the appropriate discipline.   The Department/ Division Chairs will report the appointments to their college’s Faculty Senate President.  Policies governing instructional councils are found in the current “Instructional Council Guidelines.”  Issues involving instructional councils are subject to resolution of controversy.

IC members are identified on an annual basis.  Each member serves for an academic year.  Currently, there is no limit to the number of terms an individual faculty member may serve on an IC.
