Members
The TLC General Council is composed of 23 members: 17 elected representatives and 6 ex officio members. Founding members were initially appointed by academic unit heads; moving forward, General Council members self-nominate and are elected by their respective colleges. Each member serves a two-year term, with the option to extend for a third year. Members are organized into four groups, and one representative from each group serves a one-year term on the TLC Advisory Board.
