While faculty members have a major role in the governance of their respective schools in areas such as general academic policies and faculty development, the InterFaculty Council (IFC) serves as the vehicle for faculty participation in governance at the institutional level. The primary purposes of the council are to increase communication between the faculty and the administration and to promote matters of importance to the faculty of UTHSC-H. The IFC also serves as an advisory body to the president and acts as a liaison to the administration and the school faculty governance organizations. Through these activities, the IFC increases active communication and cooperation among administration, faculty, and students.
