Faculty within the College of Pharmacy will be responsible for the execution of programmatic policies and procedures, design and delivery of the curriculum, and assessment of curricular outcomes. The Dean of the College of Pharmacy will direct and guide the faculty in this area. 

The College of Pharmacy will have three standing faculty committees. There will be a Curriculum committee, a Pharmacy Student Affairs Committee, and a Pharmacy Faculty Affairs committee. Each will have three faculty members, one of whom will chair the committee. The Curriculum committee will have a pharmacy practitioner not teaching at the College of Pharmacy. Each committee will have an administrative liaison person who will not have voting privileges on the committee. The Curriculum committee and the Pharmacy Student Affairs Committee will have a voting student member. 

One student per class (P3-P5) selected by their respective class in a manner of their choosing, will be represented on the Students Affairs and Curriculum Committees for a term of one academic year. Only the most senior student present will have a vote. Students will not be represented on the Faculty Affairs Committee (FAC) or at meetings of the Full Faculty. Students will have the ability to propose or redress issues at the SAC or CC through their respective representatives. The senior representatives (or another pharmacy student designee) will be afforded agenda time at the Full Faculty meetings when they request in order to propose or redress issues.

Should a student representative be suspended, dismissed, or otherwise unable to continue as a representative, an alternate from that student’s class may be chosen by that class to complete the remainder of the term. A student on probation may continue as a representative.

The charge of the Curriculum committee will include all curricular matters. The Pharmacy Student Affairs Committee will consider all matters affecting pharmacy students including academic actions. During committee or faculty meetings involving individual academic or disciplinary matters, the student member will be excused. The Faculty Affairs committee will be charged to consider all faculty issues, including promotion and tenure, faculty development and research. Any item considered to be under the purview of any one of these committees must be considered by the committee before it can come to the entire faculty for decision. Faculty meetings are conducted by an elected president of the faculty.

Faculty meetings will be held at least monthly from September to July during the academic year. During monthly meetings there are standing committee reports provided by the Curriculum, Faculty Affairs and Pharmacy Student Affairs Committees in addition to discussion of ongoing University, College, Program, and Student issues. An annual retreat will be held in the spring of the academic year. The retreat focuses on a review of assessment materials, programmatic curricular issues, faculty research updates, and planning sessions for the upcoming academic year.

The College of Pharmacy Advisory Board is composed of prominent pharmacists, pharmacy educators and pharmacy organization persons; this group will continue to exist after approval of the proposed program. When they meet, they will interview students.
