faculty meetings
Professors convene periodically
Faculty meetings are regular gatherings of teachers or professors at a school, college, or university to discuss administrative matters, curriculum, policies, and institutional business.
The term often carries connotations of tedium—lengthy agendas, bureaucratic discussions, and mandatory attendance: I have to skip lunch for another faculty meeting.
In academic culture, complaining about faculty meetings is nearly universal.
