Classroom Committee

The Classroom Committee was established by the Provost in January 2000 and charged with evaluating classroom use and quality, and recommending to the Provost and the Deans policies on classroom utilization, scheduling, physical improvements and priorities for assignment.  Committee members include faculty, student and staff, representing the schools, Searle Center for Teaching Excellence, Office of the Registrar, Information Technology, Associated Student Government, Facilities Management and Office of the Provost.

Much of the work of the Classroom Committee is accomplished through three subcommittees that focus on teaching methodology and technology; classroom quality; and classroom utilization. Additionally, the co-chairs work with faculty and staff from the Chicago campus to explore improvements in the quality and utilization of classrooms in Chicago. A recurring funding allocation has been established for the Classroom Committee to address priority needs.
