The Regional Faculty Caucus (RFC) is convened by the Vice President for Regional Campuses and Online Education and is comprised of the Faculty Presidents from each regional campus. The RFC meets monthly throughout the academic year.
The RFC is not a decision-making or voting body. All policy proposals considered by the RFC must be passed by the campus faculty governance bodies.
The RFC serves the following functions:
1. Facilitate communication and collaboration between the faculty governance bodies.
2. Serve as a direct line of communication between the VP for Regional Campuses and Online Education and the faculty governance bodies.
3. Coordinate common policy initiatives among the regional campuses.
The RFC is coordinated by the VP or their designee, who assembles the agenda and serves as an ex officio member.
