Meetings and Organization
The Committee on Environmental Quality meets at least monthly during the academic year. The Committee selects a chair from its membership, who is responsible for developing the meeting agenda, presiding over meetings, and preparing an annual report for the Chancellor's Office. The Chair also serves as the primary spokesperson for the Committee in interactions with other segments of the University community.
Staff support for the Committee is provided by the Office of the Assistant Vice Chancellor / Director of Operations.
