The Council is an elected body that represents the interests of the USC Dornsife faculty. All USC Dornsife faculty members cast ballots each spring to elect representatives for the faculty on matters of general concern. The Council plays a crucial role in working collaboratively with the administration, and also serve as representatives for USC Dornsife to the University as a whole.
