The Academic Council is the advisory body to the Provost. The Council reports to the Provost and the Provost serves as Chair. The focus of much of the activity of the Academic Council centers on bringing issues that impact Chairs, Directors and other supervisory leadership to the larger group for discussion, deliberation and ultimately recommendations on action, to the Provost. These supervisory duties are summarized in the Department Chair Roles and Responsibilities Guidelines. At the request of the Provost, the Council may be asked to provide recommendations on policies, procedures, and guidelines affecting academic affairs.
