Report of the Chair: College/School Educational Policy Governance Faculty Council's resolution calls for College/School Educational Policy Formulation Structures to meet at least these three criteria: 1. It holds an annual College/School meeting 2. It has an Educational Policy Formulation Committee that is elected by faculty, or, if chairs or the dean appoint the committee members, curriculum changes are circulated to the full college faculty for approval or protest. 3. The college/school's voting faculty have recently approved the governance process. For those colleges/schools not meeting these we have surveyed the faculty to solicit input on their educational policy governance processes
