Categories: News

Dear Colleagues,

The Faculty of UNC Charlotte are charged with the responsibility for making policy decisions regarding the curriculum, academic standards, and the allocation of internal research funds. We are also charged with important advisory responsibilities regarding our working schedule and conditions, the university budget, facilities planning, administrative appointments, and other elements of institutional policy and operation that touch us directly and indirectly. These responsibilities are carried out through a system of shared governance.

Please consider how you or someone you deem ready and able to become part of the shared governance process at UNC Charlotte. Nominate yourself or another qualified faculty member for any of the following openings. (If you don’t want to think of it as service to the institution, think of it as furthering the long-term interests of yourself, your discipline, and the faculty at large!) A brief description of each committee listed below can be found at: https://facultygovernance.charlottewp.psapp.dev/fc-committees
