Dean's Advisory Council

The purpose of the Dean’s Advisory Council is to provide an official voice of the faculty to the life sciences administration. The council consists of one faculty member from each of the departments in the Life Sciences, and reports directly to the dean. Faculty concerns may be brought to any member of the advisory council or may be submitted online at this website. The council carefully reviews each concern and its recommendations are then passed to the administration for a final decision.

Current Issues Being Addressed

Lack of women in Life Science leadership positions

The deans advisory council is currently working on a proposal for a faculty organization that would monitor and provide solutions to gender issues. This includes monitoring female faculty to help them get to full professor so that they are able to fulfill leadership positions.
