Statement on racism
As faculty, we recognize that the systemic forms of racism in our world and in higher education are dangerous and destructive. As educators and researchers, we are uniquely situated to effect change in our students, our institutions, and our society. We commit to rooting out racism in ourselves; finding ways to create an anti-racist society and system of higher education; sharing what we learn with our students, our colleagues, and our communities; and working toward these ends.


The Faculty Advisory Council (FAC) is a representative group of faculty in the State of Illinois
that acts as an advisory group to the Illinois Board of Higher Education (IBHE).

It has 36 members comprised of the following institutions in the state:
12 Representatives from each of the twelve public universities,
