Governance Coordinating Committee
The UAF Governance Coordinating Committee, representing faculty, staff, and students, provides a forum for the three individual UAF governance bodies to address common concerns that affect faculty, staff, and students and exists for the expressed purpose of coordinating unified action from the individual governance bodies (UAF Faculty Senate, UAF Staff Council, and ASUAF).
Membership on the UAF Governance Coordinating Committee includes the president and president-elect or vice president of each constituency and the Governance Manager. The UAF Governance Coordinating Committee meets twice a semester during the academic year.
