Faculty Council

The Faculty Council is a collegial forum for discussion of the Faculty鈥檚 governance. The Council provides strategic direction and includes both elected and appointed representation from across the Faculty community, including the Dean鈥檚 Office, department leadership, academics, students, and staff. Moreover, the Faculty Council is bound by its constitution, as approved by the McGill Senate. Four meetings are scheduled throughout the academic calendar with sessions being open to current members of the Faculty of Education, unless otherwise indicated. Note that Council Members have priority during discussions and voting, but that all attendees have the opportunity to ask questions during an open Q&A segment at the end of each meeting. Minutes from the past five academic years are available below. Archived minutes are deansoffice.education [at] mcgill.ca (subject: Request%20for%20Faculty%20Council%20Minutes) (available upon request).
