The Policy Advisory Council (PAC) is a cross-functional group of faculty, students, and staff appointed by the president to advise him on university-wide policy development, including enactment of new policies, and the revision or repeal of existing policies. The PAC helps ensure that each policy proposal goes through the proper process, is reviewed by appropriate stakeholders, and comports with overall policy definitions.
Meetings and Agendas
Scheduled PAC meetings are listed below. Agendas and policy proposals (PDF packets) are posted approximately two weeks in advance of each meeting. If you have any questions, please contact Office of the University Secretary at uopolicy@uoregon.edu or by telephone at 541-346-3166.
