The faculty council functions primarily as a forum to discuss issues specifically relevant to faculty within the College of Medicine, address faculty concerns, facilitate communication between the faculty and the administration, and together with the dean’s staff foster mechanisms of faculty support, development, and interaction within the College of Medicine.

The faculty council will work closely with the dean and dean’s representatives to ensure that the faculty have appropriate representation on relevant education, research, and clinical committees. The faculty council will be responsible for regular and timely communication with general faculty.

The faculty council exists to collect and formulate faculty concerns for communication to the council and to interpret and disseminate council business to the faculty. It is through the council that the faculty have a voice and voting influence on council business. Shared governance requires full and open access to information regarding the operation of the college, and it is through the council that this important communication will occur.

The primary governance body of the College of Medicine will be the college council. Action by the college council is required to enact or modify all academic policies of the college including those that involve resources, space, facilities, services and finances of the college, as well as those that affect the number, composition, qualifications and degree requirements of students and/or the general instructional, research and service functions of the faculty.

The voting members of the college council will include the dean, chairs of the TIUs, directors of formally approved college or university academic centers or institutes, and ten representatives from the faculty council. Other academic leaders may be invited to participate in the college council, but may not vote on matters pertaining to college policy unless granted the right to vote by a majority of the college council.

The college council is comprised of all the department chairs, the center directors, ten representatives from faculty council and members of College and Health Sciences administration.

The Ohio State University College of Medicine's primary governance document is its Pattern of Administration (PDF). The Appointment Promotion and Tenure document describes the specific policies and procedures around faculty advancement.
