Academic Governance Oversight Committee (p. 18,
Faculty Handbook)
The Academic Governance Oversight Committee (AGOC)
serves as a liaison to the Chancellor. The committee reviews academic governance procedures and performance
and addresses issues and makes recommendations regarding policies/procedures
contained in the Faculty Handbook. Any committee or
constituent having academic governance responsibilities that experiences a possible violation of
shared governance principles or procedures (but not specific actions, decisions
or recommendations by individual committees in the discharge of their duties)
may ask the AGOC to review the issue. If the Vice Chancellor for Academic
Affairs and Research (VCAAR) or Chancellor has an issue to be considered through
academic shared governance, the VCAAR should charge the appropriate academic
committee to review. If the VCAAR is uncertain where to send the issue, it
should be referred to the chair of AGOC for placement.
The committee also functions as a committee on committees.
Retention of existing committees, discontinuation of existing committees, and
recommendations for new academic governance committees or changes in
membership/representation are reviewed by this committee. This committee
is responsible for the annual review of the academic governance process and for
a survey, to be conducted every three years, to assess faculty satisfaction with
the governance process and present recommendations to the Chancellor.
Membership consists of the president of the Faculty Senate;
three tenured faculty members (appointed by the Faculty Senate to staggered three-academic-year terms); President of the Student Government Association (SGA);
President of the Graduate Student Council (GSC); one dean appointed
annually by the Academic Deans Council; and one chair appointed annually
by the Chairs Council. The committee elects a chair at the beginning of
each academic year.
