Section III.A.1: Preamble - College of Arts and Sciences
The College of Arts and Sciences of Lewis & Clark deeply values teaching. Its faculty is a community of scholars and artists who care passionately about teaching and recognize teaching and scholarship or creative activity as mingled expressions of a single vocation. As representatives of the liberal arts and sciences, the faculty participate in and contribute to the broader academic discourse within and across disciplinary lines both inside and outside Lewis & Clark. That larger continuing conversation that the faculty engage in with their peers in turn informs teaching and learning at Lewis & Clark College.
Under the institution’s principle of shared governance, the operation of the college is dependent upon active and sustained faculty engagement in the life of the campus. College faculty are encouraged to contribute their expertise to the operation and continual renewal of the college, to their professional community, and to the public.
