Whereas the entire faculty, as a whole, at least meets three times a semester to discuss and\/or vote on matters of importance, it is the Executive Council that meets to ensure the faculty\u2019s voice in the shared governance of the college. Ongoing communication between the faculty and the college administration is an essential function of the Executive Council. To this end, Executive Council representatives report regularly to their respective schools, and poll them for agenda items, points of view, and matters of concern. While operational and emergency decision-making powers are granted to the Executive Council and the Faculty Assembly President, matters of academic importance are reserved for discussions and decisions by the Faculty Assembly.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/fa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/60\/2026\/03\/FAEC_ARC-Changes-Proposal.pdf\">Proposed Bylaws Changes for FAEC\/ARC Membership<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Current FAEC Members<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"mailto:kmcmurdy@ramapo.edu\">Ken McMurdy<\/a>\u00a0<strong>(TAS)<\/strong>, President<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"mailto:jellswor@ramapo.edu\">Jeffrey Ellsworth<\/a> <strong>(SSHS)<\/strong>, Vice-President, Unit Representative<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"mailto:cbrisson@ramapo.edu\">Caroline Brisson<\/a>\u00a0<strong>(TAS)<\/strong>, Unit Representative<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"mailto:tbutler4@ramapo.edu\">Timmesha Davis<\/a> <strong>(SSHS)<\/strong>, Councilor-At-Large (Under 11)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"mailto:mgiacopp@ramapo.edu\">Monika Giacoppe<\/a>\u00a0<strong>(HGS)<\/strong>, Unit Representative<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"mailto:mjobrack@ramapo.edu\">Matthew Jobrack<\/a>\u00a0<strong>(TAS)<\/strong>, Secretary<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"mailto:lmascia@ramapo.edu\">Lawrence Mascia<\/a>\u00a0<strong>(CA)<\/strong>, Unit Representative<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"mailto:sshivara@ramapo.edu\">Sridevi Shivarajan<\/a> <strong>(ASB)<\/strong>, Unit Representative<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"mailto:esiecke@ramapo.edu\">Elizabeth Siecke<\/a> <strong>(Library)<\/strong>, Unit Representative<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"mailto:msundara@ramapo.edu\">Malavika Sundararajan<\/a> <strong>(ASB)<\/strong>, Councilor-At-Large (Adjuncts)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"collapsableContent\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"collapsableTitle\"><span class=\"fa-stack\"><i class=\"fa fa-circle fa-stack-2x\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-down fa-stack-1x fa-inverse\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-up fa-stack-1x fa-inverse\"><\/i><\/span>Past FAEC Members<\/div><div class=\"c_content\">\n<p>Roark Atkinson (HGS), Councilor-at-Large, 2014-16;
