Call for Nominations to the 2026 - 2027 Faculty Advisory Committee
April 27, 2026 8:48 AM

The Faculty Advisory Committee (FAC) requests nominations for service on the Committee. The FAC advises faculty regarding University procedures, provides added recourse for the consideration of grievances, and furnishes a channel for direct and concerted communication between the faculty and administrative officers of the University.

Any tenured member of the FAC electorate is eligible to serve on the Committee, except those appointed as an associate unit executive officer, a unit executive officer, or a higher administrative position. The Committee consists of nine tenured faculty members; no more than two may hold paid appointments in the same college. Two members will be elected to three-year terms running from August 16, 2026 to August 15, 2029.

Because FAC has the maximum of two members from FAA (Fine & Applied Arts), any nominees from these units will be ineligible to serve unless a current FAC member from those units is unable to complete their term.

For more information on the duties of the committee and a listing of current members please see the FAC website.

A completed nomination form and three brief petitions of support are required for each nomination and are due by 5pm on Monday, May 4, 2026.

The nominating form (to nominate yourself or a colleague) is available online at https://forms.illinois.edu/sec/1911749155

The petition of support form (three are required for each nomination) is available online at https://forms.illinois.edu/sec/1838726861

Online forms are being used in lieu of a signed physical form.

Voting by the faculty will take place electronically, as needed, after the nomination deadline.
