But if faculty were designing a plan, it would look completely different. Savini suggested that faculty members priorities are different than administration. Hilpert advised that just recently a matter was referred to the COC to work with FAC to develop a policy that administrators would use in appointing faculty to administrative committees. This would also deal with length of term. Currently, we have no consistency with how faculty are appointed to administrative and ad hoc committees, nor is there a length of term.

Tuedio advised that it is a standing committee under Associate V.P. Manoharan that meets regularly. They, in fact, presented a plan to MAP last year.
