Main Campus Planning Committee (MCPC)
The Main Campus Planning Committee was created in the early 1980's to advise the Provost on the operating budget and long term strategic and financial planning. The MCPC was and is the preeminent vehicle for shared governance on the Main Campus. In the beginning, MCPC membership was primarily faculty with the College dean and several student representatives rounding out the group. The Provost served as chair and several Provost Office members (especially the Main Campus Finance Officer) served as staff and ex-officio members to the MCPC. Today, the purpose of the committee is unchanged, however the membership has increased significantly to include all the Main Campus school deans and a number of additional administrators. Currently, the university chief operating officer serves as MCPC chair.

The Council of Associate Deans handles institutional and academic planning for the Main Campus. In the past, it has dealt with issues such as: the academic calendar; allocation of credit hours for courses; grade appeals; ROTC issues; Honor Council Policy; and many others. It can serve as a gateway committee to the Council of Deans (which is overseen by the Provost), dealing with policy before rising to that level.

General Education and Student Learning Committees
Committee on Student Learning (CSL)
The Committee on Student Learning will work with school and department leadership (including curriculum committees) to develop ways for the campus to build and share knowledge about how to improve student learning.

The committee meets between once and twice a month during the fall and spring semesters.
