9 EDUCATIONAL PERSONNEL PREPARATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE (FSU/EPPAC) The West Virginia State Board of Education's Policy Bulletin Number 5100 as approved by that body on April 2, 1982, requires that all institutions of higher education which operate approved teacher preparation programs establish an Educational Personnel Preparation Advisory Committee. Consequently, the FSC/EPPAC was initiated in 1983 to meet that requirement. The FSU/EPPAC serves as the primary advisory body to the Dean of Education, Health, and Human Performance in developing and reviewing all programs and policies related to the approved teacher preparation programs operated by Fairmont State University. It functions as a complementary structure to the institutional curriculum development process and its related committees and administrative units.

We accept that the Board of Governors is charged with the responsibility of establishing policy with respect to the operation of the institution. Further, we recognize that the Board of Governors has placed upon the President of the University full authority and responsibility for its operation.
