Faculty COUNCIL


Welcome to the University of Houston Faculty COUNCIL

Welcome to the pages of the UH Faculty Council website. Here, we hope you will find the informational resources you are looking for. Our goal when developing and managing this website is to bring under one umbrella a variety of links and resources that might impact the day-to-day work of a faculty member. Of course, we wish to also provide information on the workings of the faculty council itself and on all the proceedings and documents related to the council committees. In that sense, the council website is designed to be both “outward-looking,” that is, a resource for UH faculty and “inward-looking,” that is, a resource for faculty council members.

UH Together

As we prepare for the 2026 Faculty Council meetings, we invite all faculty to help shape the conversation! At each meeting, a key university leader joins us to engage directly with your ideas and priorities. The Provost and President will be our featured guests—and we want to hear from you!

What forward-thinking topics or questions would you like them to address? Whether it’s about academic innovation, student success, faculty support, or the university’s strategic direction, your input helps guide these important discussions.

Please share your ideas through the Your Voice link— let’s make this conversation thoughtful, inspiring, and truly reflective of our collective vision for UH!

 

Each week, we shine a light on a key SAM or MAPP policy that directly affects faculty. This week’s focus: Promotion and Tenure 2025-2026 (Updated August 2025). 

This year’s Promotion and Tenure Guidelines offer clear expectations, updated policies, and streamlined procedures that can directly support your success. Whether you're planning ahead or preparing for review, this guide provides essential insights every faculty member should know.

 

The Faculty Engagement and Development (FED) center is a one-stop resource that supports faculty success at every stage of their careers. Whether you’re looking for quick teaching tools, research support, leadership development, or opportunities to connect with colleagues across campus, the FED offers flexible, high-impact programs that fit even the busiest schedules. 

This week, December 4, 2025, 10 am, Room 31 E. Cullen, join Dr. James Briggs, the Associate Provost for Faculty Development and Faculty Affairs, for an opportunity to connect, ask questions, and gain insights into academic leadership, research strategy, and career development from a seasoned faculty member and university leader.

 Your input helps shape the UH experience for all of us. Do you have ideas, feedback, or topics you would like to see featured in UH Together? We would love to hear from you!
