The mandate of the Loyola Conference is to address college-wide issues, especially those dealing with mission, planning, resource allocation (human, physical and monetary), and the monitoring of progress towards goals. This agency manifests the University’s recognition of the need for a joint effort in certain crucial areas, such as those delineated in the AAUP-ACE-AGBUC’s Joint Statement on Government of Colleges and Universities (Section II). The membership of the Conference and the committees responsible to it suggest the nature and breadth of its appropriate concerns. Membership consists of the Academic Vice President (chair), Vice Presidents for Business and Finance, Student Development and Development and College Relations; the Jesuit Identity officer; chairs of the Academic Senate and Faculty Council; four faculty representatives (one each from Business, Humanities, Sciences, and Social Sciences); SGA president, Graduate Student Association President; Staff Council representative; Administrator Council Representative. All faculty, administrators, staff, and students have legitimate interest in how University-wide issues are addressed and can contribute to their constructive resolution.
