As specified in the ARHU Plan of Organization, the Collegiate Council is the chief body of shared governance of the college. Each academic unit in the college elects one member (and one alternate who attends and votes in the absence of the elected representative) from among its faculty. In addition, representatives of professional-track faculty, graduate and undergraduate students, exempt and non-exempt staff serve on the Council. Council members shall serve two-year terms and no member shall serve more than two successive terms. The Dean and the Dean's representatives, if any, shall have voice, but not vote, in the Collegiate Council.
