Faculty Honors Council

The Faculty Honors Council (FHC) consists of eleven voting members: one from each of the eight colleges, one from the Libraries, and a student representative from the Honors Students Association and a faculty representative from University Honors Program. The Honors Program Director and Assistant Director serve as ex officio members. FHC members participate actively in the formulation of academic and administrative policies of the University Honors Program and serve as an advisory board to the University Honors Program Director.

Selection

The representatives from the eight colleges and the University Libraries are appointed by the Deans of their respective units; they serve for a three-year term and can be reappointed. The student representative is the president of the HSA and serves a one-year term.

In the spring semester of the academic year, one-third of the representative positions are subject to selection or reappointment for the following academic year. The three groups are selected in the following order:

1. Natural Sciences, Engineering, and Business (SP21)

2. University Libraries, Natural Resources, and Liberal Arts (SP22)

3. Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, Health & Human Sciences, and Agricultural Sciences (SP23)

Terms

In the spring, UHP Director will first determine if the representative wishes to be reappointed for another term on the FHC. The Director will then contact the Dean of the representative’s unit to solicit their assistance in selecting/reappointing a representative for a 3-year term starting the following fall. The representative is copied on the email.

If a member resigns from the FHC or cannot serve for one or more semesters, the Dean of the representative’s unit appoints a replacement for the length of the remainder of the term or for that semester(s).
