Duties

Divisional Council (DivCo) is the administrative arm of the Merced Division of the Academic Senate. It acts on behalf of the Division on non-legislative matters. It advises the Chancellor or the Chancellor’s designee on the establishment of academic and research units and facilitates consultations between Administration and appropriate committees of the Division. Occasionally, DivCo establishes special committees to study and report to the Divisional Assembly on concerns that are not within the jurisdiction of existing committees. DivCo maintains liaison with the Academic Council.
