- Serves as an advisory body on matters concerning the welfare of students in the School.
- Reviews and approves requirements for School majors, minors, honors programs, and other curricular requirements of the School.
- Reviews and proposes changes to School regulations.
- Consults with concerned faculty members and members of the administration and makes recommendations to the Deans based on established Senate policies about the School’s allocation of educational resources, academic priorities, and planning and budget issues.
FEC members are elected for two-year terms. The Chair and Vice-Chair are elected by all faculty in the School.
