The primary role of the Executive Committee (EC) is to set the agenda for full BFC meetings. In this capacity, the EC must stay aware of standing committee activities, vet draft policies and proposals, and decide when an item is ready for debate and voting on the BFC floor.
The EC is also responsible for assigning tasks to committees and appointing task forces and special committees when necessary.
The EC meets on Tuesdays when the BFC does not meet. The Provost attends the second half of each meeting. The EC is one of the primary vehicles of communication between the IU Bloomington administration and faculty.
