University Governance Council
The University Governance Council (UGC) is one of the representative groups involved in University governance. The group is formed by representatives from each of the University's three senates - Student Senate, Faculty Senate, and Staff Senate - and is convened by the Vice President for Planning & CIO, the University administrator with responsibility for coordinating governance activities. The work of the UGC is supported by the Office of Planning & Institutional Effectiveness, which has responsibility for governance and institutional policy support. The UGC reviews and makes recommendations regarding institutional policies, and serves as a communication venue for broader governance issues and a venue for collaboration between the three representative senates. The VP Planning & CIO serves as a liaison between the UGC and the University's President's Cabinet.
