But some members of the central administration said FAS's input is already considered in University decision-making processes.
"There is an enormous amount of consultation that goes on within the University," said Elizabeth C. "Beppie" Huidekoper, vice president for finance. "The president is incredibly consultative."
However, a high-level administrator said that the relationship between FAS and the central administration could be better.
"It isn't that the Faculty is unhappy, but rather that they feel that consultation with the Faculty could improve the quality of the [central administration] decisions made," the administrator said.
The committee's report also suggested that an annual financial report be issued by the central administration and made available to the Faculty.
The last report of this kind was published several years ago by then-Provost Albert Carnesale. Huidekoper says that current Provost Harvey V. Fineberg '67 is responsible for deciding to issue such a report.
"There has not been a financial report [in the last few years]," Huidekoper said. "I believe we intend to do that."
