Carnegie Mellon University School of Computer Science

SCS Council

SCS Council is a leadership group that includes the Dean of SCS, Associate Deans, and Directors and Department Heads from each of the School's seven academic departments, as well as an additional faculty representative from each department. SCS Council meets roughly once a week to discuss college business. The broad-ranging agenda for our meetings consists of topics brought to the group by council members, with a sprinkling of priority initiatives of school leadership and some topical social issues. The discussions often include review and approval of new academic programs, faculty candidates, and policies.
