General Education Committee

UHH Home > Faculty & Staff > Faculty Congress > Standing Committees

The Congress will appoint a General Education Standing Committee of no fewer than five nor more than seven faculty members (at last one of which shall come from each UH Hilo unit), three students (one from each College). The Congress will also appoint a faculty member to serve as Chair of this Committee. This committee shall be charged with

advising the Congress on all matters relating to campus-wide General Education,
developing policies and procedures for implementing and monitoring General Education,
and undertaking regular assessments of the effectiveness of General Education at the University.

Members shall serve two-year staggered terms. In recognition of the duties and responsibilites associated with this office, the University shall grant the Chair a course reduction of not less than one course per semester. Terms of office will be overlapped so that each year half the membership will be replaced to provide continuity from year to year.
