Faculty COUNCIL


Welcome to the University of Houston Faculty COUNCIL

Welcome to the pages of the UH Faculty Council website. Here, we hope you will find the informational resources you are looking for. Our goal when developing and managing this website is to bring under one umbrella a variety of links and resources that might impact the day-to-day work of a faculty member. Of course, we wish to also provide information on the workings of the faculty council itself and on all the proceedings and documents related to the council committees. In that sense, the council website is designed to be both “outward-looking,” that is, a resource for UH faculty and “inward-looking,” that is, a resource for faculty council members.

UH Together

The next Faculty Council Meeting will be on March 25, 2026, from 12:00 to 2:00 PM.

Faculty Self-Evaluation Guidelines
Faculty feedback on the draft guidelines was received by the deadline (2.26) and has included both support and concerns. The Faculty Council is continuing to review these comments in alignment with faculty expertise, academic freedom, and disciplinary judgment. We appreciate our colleagues' engagement and will provide updates as the process moves forward.

Policy Development & Review (MAPP 01.01.01)

The Policy Development and Review policy outlines how University of Houston policies are created, reviewed, and updated in partnership with the campus community. It ensures that faculty perspectives are actively considered during policy revisions and that changes reflect compliance, transparency, and shared governance principles. This policy supports faculty engagement in institutional decision-making and reinforces the value of broad faculty input in shaping UH policies.

The Faculty Café is still being repaired from a water issue. There will be an email, hopefully this week, about the reopening date. We all miss the opportunity to grab a coffee with colleagues. 

First-Gen Staff Panel – March 11

Faculty are encouraged to share this opportunity with students, particularly first-generation students. Campus leaders will share their lived experiences navigating college as first-gen students, offering practical insight, encouragement, and connection. Your outreach can help ensure students who may benefit most are aware of this meaningful conversation. https://getinvolved.uh.edu/event/12197600
