NOTE:  Standing committee assignments are based on recommendations from college and school faculty councils and consultations with academic deans and others. The appropriate academic dean makes the final decision on assignments.  Exceptions to the foregoing are elective committee assignments as indicated. These committee assignments become effective September 1. This list of major committees does not include ad hoc committees or a number of internal college committees appointed by the appropriate deans.

Student committee members are normally nominated by the Student Government and approved by the appropriate committee chairperson. They are then appointed by the President (University committees) or the appropriate academic dean (College committees). Where such students are not nominated by September 30, the appropriate chairperson nominates the necessary student members.

Especially for the benefit of students, the jurisdiction of each University committee is briefly described. An attempt has been made to give no faculty member more than one major and one minor committee assignment. In the event that appointed committee members are consistently absent or express an intention to be consistently absent the committee chairperson reserves the right immediately to nominate substitute members.
