Faculty Advisory Committee

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture Faculty Advisory Committee (FAC) Structure

The FAC will consist of 15 members, 10 elected from the faculty, the Teaching Coordinator, Extension Coordinator, Graduate Committee Chair, Head and Associate Head. The Head and Associate Heads will be ex-officio. For the initial restructured FAC, current incoming-chair FAC members (six in total) will remain for one or two years. Four members will be elected by nomination and ballot from remaining faculty. On their first meeting, elected members will choose a method to appoint existing members to one and two-year terms, in order to offset membership of the FAC such that there is not complete turnover of the committee every two years. In subsequent years, nominations from the faculty at large will be taken to elect five members for two-year terms.
