Policies on Governance and Operations of the Unit

The official "input" system for the College of Education, as required by the AAUP Contract, may be found with a click here. This link leads to other links which lead to materials about the formal structures for the College of Education Council, including governing documents, agenda, minutes, and membership.

This link also leads to information about each of the standing committees of the COE Council, including the Basic Programs Committee, the Advanced Programs Committee, the Professional and Affiliated Programs Committee, the Planning and Finance Committee, and the Personnel Committee. Associated with each group is information about governing documents, membership, agenda and minutes or equivalent, and other documents related to the work of the group.

In addition, the COE administrators meet regularly, presided over by the dean. About once a month, the meeting includes only the dean, associate deans, and department heads. About once a month, the meeting includes all persons in the COE with administrator status. In general, formal records of these meetings are not maintained.

The College maintains a series of ad hoc, special purpose committees. These include the Program and Policy Advisory Board (Staub), COE Resource Development Board (Robbins), Human Subjects/Research Advisory Committee (Bretting), Student Advisory Committee (Berry), Technology Advisory Committee (Bretting), Building Appearance Committee (Bretting), Diversity Committee (Berry), Porter Chair Advisory Committee (Tracy), Education Alumni Hall of Fame Committee (Robbins), and Assessment Advisory Committee (Berry). Not all of these are equally active at any given time. The name following each committee given above is that of the COE administrator associated with the committee.

Each department is required, under the AAUP Contract, to have a "Department Input Document" (DID). Copies of these for the four COE Departments may be found with a click here, then scroll down to the desired department. Each DID describes the department committee structure, etc.
