Standing committees of the College of Arts and Sciences are integral to college operations and shared governance. Most committee positions are elected, but some are appointed or ex-officio by virtue of their position on campus. Arts and Sciences Standing Committee elections are held annually in accordance with college bylaws.
Leadership Committee on Intersectionality and Justice
The mission of the A&S Leadership Committee on Intersectionality and Justice (LCIJ) is to a) improve the institutional culture and structure within Arts & Sciences for faculty, staff and students around issues of race, gender, sexuality, religious bigotry, immigration status, income disparity, other historically and structurally marginalized groups and the intersections of those domains, b) support faculty integration of state-of-the-art knowledge in these domains into course curriculum, scholarship and creative works toward academic excellence and c) connect with and support university-level work on these issues, as outlined in the 2016 Final Report of the Task Force on Diversity and Inclusive Excellence. These goals are consistent with the Seattle University commitment to social justice as a central part of the Jesuit Catholic mission of the institution, defining justice as the elimination of systematic unfairness and oppression.

The Rank and Tenure Committee is composed of five tenured faculty members of the College who are not currently applicants for promotion. Three members are elected for set, staggered terms by a majority of voting tenure-track and tenured faculty members. Candidates cannot be nominated if they are from the same department as continuing members, and members of the committee whose terms expire must wait a year before again becoming eligible for nomination. Two other members from any department are appointed by the Dean.
The Rank and Tenure Committee recommends faculty for tenure and promotion in the Fall quarter, reviews the files of faculty in the third year of the tenure process in the Spring quarter, and recommends policy on all matters affecting promotion and tenure.
Election to the Rank and Tenure Committee is held at the end of the Spring quarter in order to allow the Committee to meet as soon as possible in the Fall. The vacancy to be filled by the election of the Assembly is filled by a faculty member elected for a three-year term. If a Dean's appointment falls vacant, the vacancy is also filled by a three-year appointment.
In the case that fewer than three members of College Rank and Tenure Committee are full professors, additional full professor ranked faculty will be appointed by the Dean (in consultation with the Associate Deans and Chair of CRT) to review any applications for promotion to full professor.

This committee reviews all curricular proposals (e.g., new majors, new courses, and program revisions) submitted by departments and programs in the College.
The Curriculum Committee consists of three separate, but collaborative groups:
The Undergraduate Curriculum Committee consists of four elected members and a chair appointed by the Dean. An Associate Dean and the Academic Program Manager serve as ex-officio members. This committee generally meets monthly from October through January, though additional meetings may be called when necessary. Members serve two-year terms, must come from different disciplines, and at least two should be T/TT.
The Graduate Curriculum Committee consists of two elected graduate faculty and a chair that is appointed by the Dean. The Associate Dean for Graduate and Professional programs serves as an ex-officio member. Members serve two-year terms, must come from different disciplines, and at least one should be T/TT.
The UCORE Curriculum Committee consists of two elected undergraduate faculty members and a chair appointed by the Dean. An Associate Dean serves as an ex-officio member. Members serve two-year terms, must come from different disciplines, and at least one should be T/TT.
All three committees will follow the same charge for review of A&S curricular proposals. "The Curriculum Committee's primary obligation is to ensure that professional standards and due processes are observed in the content and form of all proposals submitted to its review. The committee is responsible for assuring that proposed and existing programs do not overlap, are meeting the educational needs of the college, and are likely to receive the support of the university."
Annual Orientation Meeting:
During the first two weeks of October, the Curriculum Committee chair schedules an orientation meeting for members of the committee.
Procedures for Making Major Curricular Changes:
Procedures for Making Minor Curricular Changes:
Department chairs should consult with the chair of the committee to determine the required forms for curricular changes.
Departments are required to submit the proper forms for minor changes to the committee by November 1 of the year in which the changes are to be made.
October 1: Due to Academic Program Manager in Dean’s Office
November 1: Due to Academic Program Manager in Dean’s Office
April 15: Due to Academic Program Manager in Dean’s Office
The A&S Curriculum Committee is only the first stage of the review process. It is important for proposals to reach us before our deadlines to avoid delays at later stages of the review process.
We expect that new degree/major/minor proposals usually include new course and course change proposals. Any course change proposals that are part of a new program proposal can be submitted by April 15 as long as they are part of the new degree/major/minor.

The three members of this committee, elected for a two-year term by the faculty, are charged with authorizing funds for bringing educational opportunities to campus such as lectures, concerts, or exhibitions. Faculty who wish to sponsor an event should apply to this committee for funding.
Funds are reserved for public events, open and attractive to all the faculty and students of the College. Historically, the majority of our grants have been in the $150-225 range, allowing us to support on average about eighteen events a year. Grants are made on a first come, first served basis.
In order to request funding, please send an e-mail which includes details about the event/speaker, date, other sponsors and funding agencies (especially important), intended audience and amount requested. Additional details or justifications are welcome. The e-mail may be sent to any of the Committee members who will then forward it to the others. We will then log the request so that we can monitor both the requests and the disbursement of the funds.
Once the Committee reaches consensus on the grant, we will enter the grant amount on the ledger, notify you of the amount, and ask for a budget number/account into which you wish the funds to be transferred.
It has been the tradition of the Committee to spread the funds among as many departments and programs as we can. Moreover, it has been the practice to ask those seeking substantial grants whether or not (and with what success) they have sought funding elsewhere; we simply do not have the resources—in all but modest requests—to be the sole funding agency.

The College of Arts & Sciences Space Committee reviews and where possible, acts on the needs of the College about office space, instructional space, and communal spaces. The committee regularly solicits information on the needs of the College from all departments and divisions of the College, reports to the Dean, works closely with Facilities, and the Academic Affairs space governor who sits on the University Space Governors Committee (USGC).
The committee meets twice per quarter during the academic year. Meetings are scheduled for 1.5 hours each and are generally scheduled Friday afternoons.
There is minimal time required outside of meeting times to prepare, approximately 30min - 1 hour to review documents. Very occasionally the committee is invited to join Facilities to visit sites on or off campus that are important to the college. The annual workload for faculty and staff on the committee is about 30 hours and is generally divided evenly across the academic year.
An Associate Dean chairs the committee and its members include one staff member, two T/TT faculty, two FT NTT faculty, and the A&S Program Coordinator as an ex officio member.
