  1. Providing guidance related to strategies and approaches (e.g., messaging, appropriate technologies, etc.) for communicating with faculty in an inclusive and equitable way.

  2. Inviting greater and more diverse* participation in the shared governance process, and fostering a culture of equity and inclusion.

  3. Informing faculty of the issues before the Faculty Council and urging them to contribute their opinions, analysis, and ideas.

  4. Providing opportunities for faculty to share insights and ideas about issues impacting faculty across the four campuses.

  5. Acknowledging and promoting impactful faculty contributions to affirm and value their efforts.

  6. Promoting awareness of the mission and impact of the Faculty Council and other shared governance bodies, and publicizing events of significance to the faculty.

  7. Facilitating collaboration among the standing committees of the Faculty Council and assisting them with their communication needs.

  8. Advising on system-wide communication media (e.g., CU Connections, CU on the Air) to ensure that content is inclusive of and sensitive to diverse* faculty voices.
    *Diverse, as used here, encompasses but is not limited to gender, race, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, nationality, academic rank, religious background, ability, experience, and diversity of thought.
