Summary

FAC members agreed to add discussion of a Chancellor’s Transparency Advisory Council and to gather faculty input on which financial, contract and governance items should be posted publicly; the chair said the council aims to restore public trust with clearer dashboards and a public web page.

Felicia Brown, acting FAC chair, asked members to add a discussion of the Transparency Advisory Council to the agenda and said the council aims to make financial and governance data more accessible to the public. “The idea is to sort out what the public needs to know and how our information needs to be presented,” Brown said and offered to circulate the council’s membership and an initial question list to FAC members for feedback.

Faculty members proposed specific items they'd like to see published, including clear organizational charts, current contracts and consulting agreements, itemized p‑card purchases, research project justifications, and summaries of police/security interactions. Brown noted several system dashboards exist but are hard to find and said the council is considering a dedicated webpage or a central portal to host those materials.

Members also flagged executive sessions and consolidation accountability as transparency priorities, and Theresa Severance and Dave Blitz urged the council to catalog where system data already lives so the public can find it. Brown invited faculty to send suggestions before the next FAC meeting (scheduled in early April) and said the council is working on a relatively quick timeline for initial deliverables.
