Welcome to the College Council of the College of Education and Human Development Homepage. Some of the work of the College Council is shared here. We hope that you'll find the information helpful.

College Council is the shared governance structure for the College of Education and Human Development. Elected representatives share in the rights and responsibilities that include making recommendations to the Dean of the College of Education and Human Development regarding:

1. The form and structure of governance in the College of Education and Human
Development.

2. New programs and courses, course changes, course content, and manner of
of instruction in present programs and courses.

3. Requirements for matriculation and degrees.

4. Faculty recruitment, hiring, retention, promotion, granting of tenure, dismissal, developmental leave, and emeritus status.

5. Selection of department chairs and participation in the selection of the Dean and other college administrators, both interim and permanent. Recommending committees, however established, shall include representation from the faculty.

6. Rules and procedures for the academic discipline of students.

7. Norms for teaching responsibilities and the evaluation of faculty.

8. Policies and procedures governing annual performance reviews and merit increases.

9. Evaluation of administrators in the COEHD.

10. Other matters of concern to the faculty including, but not limited to:

a. general policies and procedures for determining class size, workload,
course scheduling, and teaching assignments at all UTSA campuses.

b. general policies and procedures for the allocation of financial resources in
the college.

The College Council does not displace the formal authority of the Dean but ensures explicit and ongoing consultation with faculty, academic professionals, non-faculty administrators, staff, and students and consideration of their advice, recommendations, and actions.
