The Faculty Council advises the president and serves as a channel of communication between the faculty and the administration. The Council consists of four tenured and two untenured members elected by the faculty. Members of the faculty in their first or second year of appointment are not eligible for election, nor are those on part-time, associate, visiting, or other special appointments, or those who are currently under tenure review. Members of Faculty Council sometimes report to the faculty as one of  two subcommittees: the Committee on Conference with the Trustees, and the Committee on Finance and Planning.  At the end of each academic year, Faculty Council also serves as the Committee on Committees, charged with making faculty appointments to other college committees.

The IRB exists to protect people who participate in original research conducted at Middlebury College or by a member of the College community.  Research that involves interviewing other people, distributing surveys, conducting experiments on people, or even observing particular people in their daily lives is normally what we call "research on human subjects," and all such research requires some level of approval from the IRB.

Middlebury College invests its students, staff and faculty with the power to maintain community values through our judicial system. The Academic Judicial Board (AJB) reviews alleged violations of Middlebury's Honor Code: cheating, plagiarism, or other forms of academic dishonesty. The Community Judicial Board (CJB) reviews alleged violations of Middlebury's Community Standards and General Policies; Sexual Assault Policy; Alcohol and Other Drugs Policy; and other Handbook policies when the alleged violation is serious enough that official College discipline (probation or suspension) is a possible outcome.
