The Academic Planning Advisory Committee (APAC) was created on the recommendation of the College Park Senate, to advise the Chief Academic Officer concerning academic issues with a significant resource implication. APAC's advice is required when academic programs are proposed to be created or eliminated, or when departments or other units are to be created, merged, split, or eliminated. APAC has been involved in many other initiatives, including strategic planning, the revision of the undergraduate curriculum, and the distribution of enhancement and research initiative funds.
APAC is appointed by the Provost, in consultation with the Senate Executive Committee. It has a majority of faculty members, and includes one staff member, two students, and a number of administrators. In recent years each committee has included two academic deans, and the deans of undergraduate and of graduate studies ex officio. Faculty serve for two years, academic deans for two years, staff members for two years, and students for one.
While faculty members of APAC are chosen with a balance of academic areas in mind, they act as individuals, and rather than representatives of a particular constituency, they are chosen as representing the best of us. As stated in the original Senate recommendation "they should be chosen for their judgment, commitment to the campus, scholarship, and teaching accomplishments and should represent a diversity of disciplines, experience, and perspectives."
