University Committees

President Mike Davis has established a number of standing and ad hoc committees to provide policy recommendations on matters of university-wide importance.

Members are selected for service on university committees to ensure representation by all campus constituencies: students, faculty, and staff. Brief descriptions of the committees, along with links to their webpages and charters, can be found below.

Administrative Policy Committee

After the Board of Governors repealed Policy 50, “Policy on Policies,” and adopted Policy 1.1, “Adoption, Amendment or Repeal of BoG Policies," in December 2024, President Davis established the Administrative Policy Committee. The body is charged with facilitating the adoption, amendment, and repeal of administrative policies by identifying needs, suggesting appropriate university units to draft or amend administrative policies, soliciting feedback from campus constituencies, and recommending action to the President.

Campus Carry Committee

President Davis established the Campus Carry Committee (CCC) in Fall 2023 to recommend a comprehensive and ideologically neutral approach to Fairmont State University’s compliance with the Campus Self-defense Act by July 1, 2024. The 14-member committee is comprised of students, faculty, and staff.

Compensation and Classification Committee

The Compensation and Classification Committee was established in Summer 2024 to plan and initiate a study of how the university classifies positions and compensates employees. The results will recommend how to eliminate inequities and benchmark future salaries against West Virginia public regional universities.

Strategic Planning Process Committee

President Davis kicked-off a new strategic planning process in November 2023. To guide this effort, he established the Strategic Planning Process Committee (SPPC). The SPCC represents faculty, staff, and students from across the institution. These passionate, professional colleagues contribute invaluable insights and give voice to all campus constituencies.
