FAUW ensures that faculty members’ voices are represented at all levels of the University, coordinating dozens of faculty seats on University committees and working groups. Some of these roles require a FAUW Board member, but most are appointed by FAUW or jointly with the University from among the membership at large.
FAUW representatives vs appointees
Some representatives are assigned to act on FAUW's behalf, such as with policy, accessibility, academic integrity, and copyright committees. These representatives are asked to submit reports to the FAUW membership at our general meetings.
FAUW also appoints or recommends people to act in an individual capacity (i.e., not as a representative of FAUW) on bodies such as senior administration hiring committees, the University Tenure and Promotion Advisory Committee (UTPAC), and the University Appointments Review Committee (UARC).
All positions must be filled by voting members of FAUW.
Representatives from the FAUW Board of Directors or its committees
Only FAUW appointees are listed here. The University has other committees with faculty members who are not appointed by FAUW, and some of the committees listed below also have additional faculty members who are not appointed by FAUW.
