The Faculty Welfare and Governance Committee serves in a consultative capacity to the Dean. Their mission is to represent the interests of all full-time faculty at the school, and to take action on matters having to do with faculty welfare, faculty governance, as well as policies and terms relating to faculty appointments, review and reappointment.

The Grievance & Discipline Committee resolves complaints of alleged violations of policies and/or community standards by faculty and students. This committee hears cases and advises the Dean on appropriate School responses. The committee also dvises the Dean on disputes which have not been resolved through the normal process of reasoned discussion. The grievance process is intended to assure the faculty member that his/her complaint or problem has been presented to and considered by appropriate School officials and bodies; and to assure the Tisch community that decisions involving faculty members in their relationship to the School are fully considered.

The Tisch Faculty Council ("TFC") is the elected body representing the interests of the full-time faculty at Tisch School of the Arts ("TSOA"). The Council is composed of one elected representative from every department and program and is charged to periodically review and make recommendations for strengthening shared governance policies and practices at the School. In carrying out its charge, the TFC strives to advance and operationalize policies and principles of shared governance that involve the collaborative participation by TSOA faculty in decisions and policies that affect their rights, responsibilities, and welfare at the School.
