Meeting of Faculty Relations Committee

Meeting of Faculty Relations Committee

On 15 May 2007, the Faculty Relations Committee (FRC) meeting was held and was noted as the first meeting co-chaired by the newly appointed Co-Chairpersons of the FRC H.E. Mrs. Merete Fjeld Brattested, Ambassador of Norway to Thailand, and H.E. Lt. Gen. (Retd.) Khateer Hasan Khan, Ambassador of Pakistan to Thailand. In the meeting, the role of FRC to provide direct interface between the faculty body and the Board, and to advise on non-academic faculty related issues highlighted discussion.

As it is sometimes difficult to dissociate academic and non-academic issues, which often overlap, the FRC thus will cover academic, research, finance, operations and welfare issues. (Another platform where faculty related issues could be raised is the President's Advisory Council (PAC), as the Faculty Representative is a member of the PAC.) The report of the FRC will be circulated to the faculty members once reviewed and endorsed by the Co-Chairpersons.
