PURPOSE
- The Council of Academic Deans (CAD) functions as a part of the academic
policy advising system within the Academic Affairs division of the
University. The purpose of the Council is to provide advice to the Provost
and Vice President for Academic Affairs on University policies and
procedures and through the Provost to provide advice to the University
Council, the President's Cabinet, and the President.
- The Council reviews and advises the Provost on various matters
including, but not limited to, academic policies, faculty issues,
personnel policies and procedures, academic programs and budgets. Topics
considered by the Council may originate in a college council, the Council
of Chairs, the Faculty Senate, the University Council, or other venues,
but such topics will not ordinarily be forwarded beyond the Provost until
after the Council of Academic Deans has been consulted.
