Austin Community College District (ACC) faculty and instructional staff are invited to join Chancellor Dr. Russell Lowery-Hart and Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs Dr. Gaye Lynn Scott for the Spring 2026 Faculty Town Hall on Wednesday, March 4, 2026, from 4:30 to 6 p.m., held virtually via Zoom.
The Faculty Town Hall provides a transparent, faculty-centered space for open dialogue with College leadership. This session will focus on timely and high-impact topics, including academic freedom, artificial intelligence and academic integrity, and the evolving role of faculty in today’s political and instructional landscape.
The virtual forum will include:
- Leadership Updates: Sharing key College priorities and initiatives.
- Pressing Issues & Feedback: Addressing major concerns and submitted questions.
- Faculty Q&A: Engaging in open dialogue through submitted and live questions.
Faculty are encouraged to submit questions or concerns in advance using the Faculty Town Hall question and concern submission form. Submissions may be anonymous or attributed, and responses will be addressed during the event or in the follow-up summary shared afterward.
This continued Town Hall model reflects ACC’s commitment to shared governance, transparency, and meaningful faculty engagement.
