University Faculty Advisory Council
In February 2025, President Alan M. Garber announced the establishment of the University Faculty Advisory Council (UFAC). The Council consists of a distinguished group of 16 faculty from across the University who, following consultation with the deans and careful consideration of nominees, were invited to serve an initial two-year term on the Council. The group meets regularly with the president, provost, and School leadership, offering insights on a broad range of University-wide issues and bringing a range of faculty perspectives to leadership conversations and decisions.
