IC MEMBERSHIP AND DISTRIBUTION LISTS
Each college is given the opportunity to be represented on each IC. Many ICs include more than one discipline, so while there may be more than one faculty member from a college, each college has only one vote. The membership of the Instructional Councils is guided by Residential Faculty Policy 1.2.16. This policy states:
"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."Each Faculty Senate President communicates membership recommendations to the college's Chief Academic Officer (CAO).
Terms of Membership
IC members are identified on an annual basis. Each member serves for the academic year. Currently there is no limit on the number of terms an individual faculty member may serve on an instructional council.
For ICs that include more than one discipline or department, the college must identify the voting member. Additional faculty may be listed on the IC membership roster as alternative members or non-voting members.
