CFS Governance Council

The Department of Child & Family Studies has assembled a Governance Council to assist the Chair in reviewing key policies and decisions affecting the Department, including budgetary issues and long-term strategic planning. This Council will be comprised of up to six faculty, including representatives from each of the faculty career paths: Tenured (2), Research (2), Assistant/Associate In (2), and up to three members each from the Administrative and Staff personnel categories, for a total of twelve members. In addition, the CFS representatives to the CBCS Faculty Council will select one of their members to serve as the thirteenth member of the CFS Governance Council. After an initial staggered assignment period, terms on the Council will be two years in length.

The Governance Council is required to meet at least quarterly to originate, review, provide input on and, as needed, vote to endorse Departmental policies and procedures. Members of the Department are encouraged to meet with members of the Governance Council, or the Department Chair at any time to address issues of Departmental concern. It will be incumbent upon the members of the Governance Council to solicit opinions and input, both formally and informally, from the Department faculty or staff members that they represent. The Council will identify agenda items for the Departmental staff meetings, review nominations for membership on the Council, and may draft Departmental policies and/or operational recommendations. Key areas to be addressed by the Council may include the following...
