Faculty COUNCIL


Welcome to the University of Houston Faculty COUNCIL

Welcome to the pages of the UH Faculty Council website. Here, we hope you will find the informational resources you are looking for. Our goal when developing and managing this website is to bring under one umbrella a variety of links and resources that might impact the day-to-day work of a faculty member. Of course, we wish to also provide information on the workings of the faculty council itself and on all the proceedings and documents related to the council committees. In that sense, the council website is designed to be both “outward-looking,” that is, a resource for UH faculty and “inward-looking,” that is, a resource for faculty council members.

Each week, we shine a light on a key SAM or MAPP policy that directly affects faculty. This week’s focus: Freedom of Expression.

This policy outlines the University of Houston’s commitment to upholding free expression while maintaining a safe, civil, and respectful campus environment. It establishes rules for when, where, and how expressive activities—such as demonstrations, literature distribution, and displays—may occur, ensuring they do not disrupt University operations or violate laws. The policy also details procedures for reserving outdoor spaces, restrictions on amplified sound and signage, and enforcement measures for violations.
