A-7 University of Texas Press Advisory Committee The committee met seven times to date during the academic year 2005-06. Six were regular meetings of the committee and one was a specially called meeting of the executive committee; the committee will meet two or three times during the summer. The basic format for meetings is the presence of the key staff members of the UT Press along with the committee. Editors present projects for consideration based on reader's reports that have been circulated in advance to the committee along with the table of contents and a description of the manuscript. Questions are asked of the editor by committee members, and there is a general discussion as appropriate for the project. The committee then votes on the project, sometimes adding conditions for approval. The members of the committee are conscientious and review the materials carefully prior to the meetings. There is a good working relationship with the UT Press staff. The committee has no legislation to propose to the Faculty Council. Michael J. Churgin, chair
