University Committee on Faculty Affairs

What is UCFA?

The University Committee on Faculty Affairs makes recommendations to the Faculty Senate on issues related to the University budget, and reports annually to a meeting of the Faculty Senate on academic budget allocations and adjustments in salary and other forms of economic benefits. The committee shares responsibility, consults, and advises the Provost on the formulation of faculty grievance procedures and rights and responsibilities of faculty, personnel policies relating to faculty, and the formulation of the University’s annual budget request to the State of Michigan.
