The SIS Council, together with its designated
committees, serves as the primary voice of the faculty, staff
and students with regard to various governance functions within
the school. The eleven voting members of the council:
1. Act for and represent the faculty, staff, and students
in making recommendations to the Dean on major issues of the
School;
2. Serve as the School’s planning and budgeting
committee for the University’s Planning and Budgeting
System;
3. Develop and/or review policies, guidelines, and
procedures that support or affect scholarship, research, teaching,
and service;
4. Develop and/or review policies, guidelines,
and procedures in areas of governance, such as personnel, terms
and conditions of employment, budget plans for the School,
resources, and diversity enhancement;
5. Establish committees as needed
to develop and implement policies and procedures related to
the above areas;
6. Coordinate the activities of its various
committees, receive the reports, and act upon the recommendations
of those committees; and
7. Consult with and advise the Dean
and/or the representatives of the Dean regarding issues of
concern to faculty, staff, and students.
The monthly meetings of the SIS Council are open to all faculty,
staff and students of SIS who wish to attend. The meeting
agenda will be set by the SIS Chair and posted on this website
in advance of each meeting. Minutes of past meetings
will be available on the SIS Council Wiki.
