Statement of Purpose

The UCO Advisory Committee (UCOAC) advises the Director on the full range of policy and operations of UCO, including short-term and long-term planning. The UCOAC also evaluates new UC astronomy initiatives. Each campus has at least one representative on the committee. For the past several years, UCLA and UCB have had two members on the UCOAC. Also in attendance at every meeting is the UCO Director, the UCO Associate Director for Lick Observatory, the UCO Assistant Director for Business and Operations, the Lick Observatory superintendent and the UC co-Chairs of the Keck SSC and TMT SAC. The committee meets twice per year for a full day and holds teleconms as necessary when issues arise between meetings that require discussion or decisions. In addition to providing advice to the Director, the UCOAC is the representative body charged with keeping astronomers throughout the system apprised of UCO activities and with gathering systemwide input on issues of importance to UCO-managed facilities.
