Faculty  Assistance Committee
The Faculty Assistance Committee (FAC) has been created to assist faculty of the school
of medicine who are seeking to resolve conflicts concerning the faculty's relationship with
their department, the institution or their colleagues.
Upon being notified that a faculty member is seeking assistance, the FAC will determine the
most appropriate hearing body, be it a University-wide Committee, a Medical School
Committee, the UUP or another appropriate committee. The FAC is not designed to replace
any already-existing committees.
If a faculty member's request cannot be distributed to any appropriate committee or
organization, the FAC may decide by a simple majority vote whether to become the hearing
body.
Upon deciding to review the issue, the FAC will review written documentation and will have
the authority to request any other form of documentation it deems appropriate. If, in the
course of its deliberations, it becomes evident that the issue is one that can be reviewed by
an already existing hearing body (be it a University-wide Committee, a Medical School

Committee or the UUP), all collected data will be transferred to that hearing body.
In situations where the issue remains with the FAC, when documentation is complete, the
committee shall distribute its findings to the faculty members involved and the Dean of the
School of Medicine
Submissions for review by the FAC should be submitted in writing to the chairperson of the
FAC or to the president of the faculty senate.
