Background and Context for the RequestThe Advisory Committee for the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning is composed of one representative from CBA, COE, CSBS, and Rod Library, and two representatives from CHAS.  The Faculty Senate also appoints a member of the committee each year. The Associate Provost for Faculty and the CETL Director, who chairs the committee, are ex officio members. The make-up of the committee ensures that faculty from each college and the Rod Library are involved in CETL governance, support and planning. The Advisory Committee for the CETL has been in existence as a Faculty Senate Committee at least since the time of UNI’s former Center for the Enhancement of Teaching.  When the current Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning was established in 2013, the description of the committee remained as it had been.  This petition requests the addition of a more detailed description of the Advisory Committee Members’ duties to the Committee Memberships Document created by the Committee on Committees so that those conducting elections, as well as potential members of the Advisory Committee, understand more clearly the nature of the position. 

Summary of Petition Request This petition requests that a more detailed position description for members of the Advisory Committee for the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning be added to the Committee Memberships Document developed by the Committee on Committees.
