Set Up Committees
Each institution can select one of three methods (Controlled, Uncontrolled, or Both) for faculty to enter committees in Faculty Activity Reporting (FAR, Faculty180). Controlled committees are committees added to the system by Administrators. Uncontrolled committees are populated by individual faculty members. If Controlled is selected, the institution will need to develop a list of committees that can then be entered manually or uploaded to FAR.
Note that users can change the options in the dropdown, but Interfolio loads the actual committee records.
