Historical Note
The Policy Committee, formed in 1966, was responsible for proposing all non-curricular changes and policy development to the Faculty for discussion and votes. This committee regularly reported to the Academic Council and the general Faculty. Its membership included three teaching members of the Faculty (elected by the Faculty), and the Dean of the Faculty acted ex-officio. As of the 2011 Faculty Code, the Policy Committee was no longer an organizational body of faculty governance.
