Subcommittees
The council oversees four standing subcommittees each of which meets with recorded minutes, as called. Current subcommittees are: Instructional Support Committee, Proficiency Committee, Orientation and Meetings Committee, and Distribution of Teaching Enhancement Funds Committee. The council may arrange for ad-hoc sub committees as needed. Current ad-hoc subcommittees are the Language Symposium 2004 Committee, and the Language Brochure Committee. Currently, the Proficiency Committee is the most active as it oversees the petitions for proficiency waivers and organizes the proficiency testing in languages not formally taught at Northwestern University.

Council members are encouraged to participate in at least one subcommittee, where the more detailed work of the council is carried out. The council may, for example, request that a sub-committee study an issue and report to the council on its findings. Subcommittee proposals brought before the Council are discussed and voted on as required. Subcommittees and subcommittee membership are determined during the first council meeting of the academic year.
