    Meetings:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The FAGC meets as needed when cases are received from the University Committee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Therefore, the FAGC met eight times during the 2024-2025 academic year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The FAGC received and resolved thirteen total cases.  Due to the nature of the business of the FAGC, all discussions occurred during closed session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
