Faculty governance is an important element of a well functioning university.

The Gatton Faculty Council works to enhance faculty governance in the Gatton College, providing a forum for faculty input and discussion on matters before the college.

The primary functions of the council are to:

1. Improve communication throughout the college and provide a formal mechanism for faculty input to the college administration.
2. Act as a voice for the college faculty in university-level matters.
3. Provide a venue for dialogue regarding academic issues and other concerns of the faculty of the college.
