The Council develops research policy for the College of Medicine that is disseminated to the research community via the Research Office. 15 Faculty – see guidelines for composition of members.
Faculty Diversity Advisory Committee (FDAC) (4 Year Term): The Faculty Diversity Advisory Committee (FDAC) is a standing committee which: 1) identifies strategies, tactics and priorities for improving faculty diversity and inclusivity at the COM; 2) assists in determining how to integrate diversity and inclusion, broadly defined, into everything we do at the college; 3) provides a line of communication between faculty and administration; and 4) supports development and implementation of programs related to diversity, equity, and inclusion that enhance faculty life (related to career development, mentoring, leadership, community outreach, etc.). The committee interacts closely with similar committees for students, staff and other groups. The FDAC is co-chaired by two of the members of the FDAC. The College of Medicine Deans for Faculty Development and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion serve as ex-officio members. The FDAC is comprised of 8 faculty members who will serve four-year terms. The FDAC will meet monthly. The work of the FDAC will be supported by the College of Medicine Offices of Faculty Affairs and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Members must be on the faculty at the UA College of Medicine at the rank of Assistant, Associate or Full Professor. Additional individuals from staff/student diversity committees or the community may be invited to serve as liaisons on the FDAC. Membership should include representation from multiple departments and centers, all ranks and all tracks. It is expected that the committee will be diverse as defined by the COM Diversity Statement, and will include both UA employed and affiliate faculty.

AAMC Council of Faculty of Academic Societies (3 Year Term): This council represents the faculty’s voice within the AAMC leadership structure. It typically involves a stand-alone two-day meeting in the spring and sessions in conjunction with the AAMC Annual Meeting in November. There are other issue-based task force and committee meetings, but most of the work is completed via webinars, conference calls, and email. Faculty from the senior leadership ranks (such as chair, division director, program director, center director) but without a dean’s office appointment are eligible to serve.

Representative to the Graduate Council (4 Year Term ): The Graduate Council provides a forum in which matters of concern to graduate education are discussed and the mission of the Graduate College fulfilled. The Council works with the Graduate College to review, establish, and update policies affecting graduate education. Among its roles, the Council is a part of the University process for creating or changing graduate degree programs in the planning and implementation stages, leading to ultimate approval by the Arizona Board of Regents. The Council recommends and reviews the policies and procedures of the Graduate College, including but not limited to admission requirements, degree certification, graduate teaching and research assistantships and recommends priorities for graduate education and supports efforts to achieve them. All instruction, curriculum, and policy action items approved by the Graduate Council are forwarded to the College Academic Administrators Council, Team Provost, and the Senate Executive Committee before advancing to the Faculty Senate for approval.
