The Academic Affairs Committee (AAC) oversees matters pertaining to or connected with policies and practices related to the academic enterprise across Indiana University. The UFC AAC communicates with IUB, IUI, and regional campuses’ Academic Affairs Committees and with the IU President’s Academic Leadership Council.
The committee advises the Academic Leadership Council and the University Faculty Council on academic matters, collaborates on universitywide plans for
strengthening the academic curriculum, and, where appropriate, advises on universitywide policies and procedures that aim to improve academics at Indiana University.
A standing Online Education Subcommittee, appointed by the UFC Executive Committee, will report to the AAC.
For more information on the Academic Affairs Committee, see the Bylaws of the University Faculty Council, Section 12.H.
