The Faculty Access and Engagement Committee is responsible for informing and making recommendations to the Senate in matters pertaining to social justice, access and engagement. Specific matters for review and advice include: awareness and education (best practices to build a campus culture that promotes access and engagement); faculty affairs (e.g., recruitment, hiring, retention, promotion, representation, and compensation of faculty); advocacy (internal and external communications and events promoting inclusiveness in all aspects of campus life); and research and scholarship (e.g., systematic review of data, policies, and programs to assess the status of women and underrepresented minorities in all aspects of faculty affairs). The FAEC and FDC committees will work together to avoid duplication of efforts. The FAEC will also collaborate with the FDC in order to support improved access and engagement within existing faculty development initiatives.
