ACCAD Oversight Committee - Pattern of Administration


Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design (ACCAD)

Faculty Rule 3335-3-36

The Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design (ACCAD) is a college center as defined by Faculty Rule 3335-3-36. The college faculty delegates to ACCAD the authority to offer courses established under the auspices of the college.

ACCAD courses follow the same course approval process as required for all department/school courses.

ACCAD courses are registered within the College of the Arts (Arts Col). Department courses taught at ACCAD by associate faculty are under department headings. Co-taught courses are cross-listed under associated department headings and Arts Col.

The ACCAD director provides an annual report to the college dean that details the center’s activities.

Annual evaluation of ACCAD is based on the quality of collaborative research experiences for students, collaborative research support for associated faculty, instruction service, and outreach and engagement.

Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design (ACCAD) Oversight Committee

The role of the ACCAD Oversight Committee is to:

  • Assist the ACCAD director in refining the conceptual framework for the center.
  • Facilitate conduits that connect departments with ACCAD’s academic and research mission of research/scholarship, instruction, service, outreach and engagement.
  • Advise on funding opportunities.
  • Serve as liaison between ACCAD and respective academic and administrative units represented.

The ACCAD Oversight Committee consists of fifteen members: the ACCAD director; an active graduate student studying at ACCAD; the college’s associate deans responsible for curriculum and research; one faculty member each from the departments/school in the College of the Arts; one faculty member from the Department of Computer and Information Science; and three invited faculty members, each from an academic unit with current collaborative ties to ACCAD. The associate deans and ACCAD director are nonvoting members.

All faculty members are chosen in accordance with unit procedures and serve a two-year term on a staggered basis. Faculty members may be reappointed for additional terms. The graduate student member is appointed by the committee for a one-year term, in consultation with the director of ACCAD. The student is a voting member and may be appointed for a second consecutive one-year term.

The committee chair is elected each year by the committee membership.

The committee develops minutes of meetings and members are expected to report on ACCAD activities at their department/school faculty meetings.
