Schedule of Faculty and Committee Meeting Dates

These meeting dates are established to provide some overall governance structure to the academic year. Committees are always free to meet at different times but should be mindful that some committee actions will require Faculty Senate, university-level committee, and University Faculty Council approval before those actions are adopted. Moving committee dates too far off schedule might conflict with the goal of securing all necessary approvals in a timely fashion. MEETING TIMES on these dates are established by the committees. Please note that Friday, September 30 is the UMW President’s Inauguration date; no committee meetings are scheduled on that date.
