Executive Vice President for Finance and Administration Mike Mandl reported to the Faculty Council at its April 19 meeting that a new Faculty Advisory Committee is currently being formed to provide feedback for his areas of responsibility. This new advisory body results from yearlong conversations between Mandl and the Executive Commitee of the Council. The committee, which will consist of eight to ten faculty members with at least three from the current Council, will offer guidance on potential changes in practice and policy, advise on priority areas of focus that support faculty in their work, and provide channels of communication between the Executive Vice President for Finance and Administration and the larger Emory faculty community. Particular areas of consideration include human resources, finance, campus services, master plan, internal audit, investment management, and two areas of shared responsibility with the provost and EVP for health affairs, information technology and research administration. The committee, now being populated, will meet four to six times per year beginning next year.
