During meetings, the advisory committee discusses: implementation strategies, best practices, and other issues related to faculty development, promotion, merit and unit adjustment, faculty annual reviews, excellence, equity, and assist in the communication process by sharing information discussed at college/school, and campus levels. The inaugural chair of FAAC is Deepa Rao and Trish Kritek is the co-chair.
