All part- and full-time instructional employees are considered members of the faculty with the right to vote in Faculty Council meetings. The Faculty Council serves as a liaison between Underwood faculty and Underwood administration. The Faculty Council regularly meets before or during the first part of each semester and may be called into session when and as deemed necessary by the Chair. All faculty members may attend Faculty Council meetings, and at those meetings, any faculty member can raise any issue regarding the operations of the faculty at UU.

The terms of the Chair and Secretary shall be one year, after which time a new Chair and Secretary shall be elected by popular vote of the Faculty Council. The Council Chair presents the Council’s reviews, findings, grievances, and opinions to the President, who will then make these known to the Board of Directors.
