The Office of the Secretary of the Faculty facilitates the administration of faculty committees. As defined in Faculty Policies and Procedures Chapter 6, the term “faculty committee” applies to those established by the faculty or the Faculty Senate but not to committees created by the chancellor, by deans, or by others. Joint or shared governance committees are established in conjunction with academic staff, university staff, and student government to address issues of common concern.
In the list below, the link to the Committee Tracker database (requires NetID login) provides information on membership, often with meeting schedules. Explore a committee that aligns with your research, teaching, or personal interests. Self-nominations are highly encouraged– fill out the interest survey on Committee Tracker. If you have trouble finding the information you need, contact our office: admin@secfac.wisc.edu
