The Academic Computing Committee was established by the Faculty Senate to provide a forum for faculty to inform Academic Computing about computing needs and for Academic Computing to disseminate information about changes in available resources to academic faculty and staff. Each academic division receives representation in proportion to the size of its faculty.

The Center for Teaching Enhancement was established to promote personal reflection and scholarly dialogue on the art, the science, and the craft of university teaching. The Center sponsors publications, workshops, and research that critically examine and promote instructional excellence and innovative teaching, including the use of instructional technology. The Center also offers opportunities for faculty or instructors to improve their teaching effectiveness using classroom visitations and/or mid-semester student feedback.
