    SECTION IINTRODUCTIONThe vital relationship between our member schools and the ACSA depends inlarge part on the ACSA Faculty Councilor in each school. This person providesan essential role regionally as a representative at ACSA business meetings; inthe nomination of colleagues for service in ACSA or collateral organizations; as

    a liaison between the national office and their school; and as administrator oftheir school's vote on official ACSA business. Faculty councilors are the primarycontact for the distribution of ACSA materials, publications, andcommunications. In short, the service of a schools councilor is critical to thesuccess of ACSA and its programs.

    This primer outlines the responsibilities of an ACSA Faculty Councilor and servesas a reference document for information on ACSA and its programs.

    This edition was edited by the Regional Directors Committee. Our intentions areto produce and distribute this document annually, with periodic updates to be

    available on the ACSA website. Any comments, corrections, or additions shouldbe directed to:ACSAResource Guide for Faculty Councilors1735 New York Avenue NWWashington, D.C. [email protected]

    Each faculty councilor will receive the resource Guide through the ACSA websiteat the beginning of his or her term. They are expected to familiarize themselveswith the requirements of the position and participate accordingly. Anyone unable

    to fulfill his or her duties as faculty councilor should resign immediately, at whichpoint a new election will take place organized by the previous faculty councilor.Faculty councilor contact information should be updated within two weeks of theelection to the both the ACSA national office and the appropriate ACSA RegionalDirector.

    We look forward to your commentary regarding this handbook and its usefulness.

    Summary of Recent Policy StatementsPolicy Statement on Development of 200405 NAAB Conditions and ProceduresAt its spring 2004 meeting, the Board of Directors passed the following statementoutlining ACSA positions on key issues affecting the development of the NationalArchitectural Accrediting Board Conditionsand Proceduresdocuments.

    ACSA supports diversity of degrees. ACSA requests the removal of the moratorium on new B.Arch programs.

    NAAB should regulate professional content only.

    NAAB and ACSA should work together to synchronize the decision cycles regardingNAAB's Conditions and Proceduresand other policies.

    Policy on Unpaid InternsBackground. The Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) supports theAmerican Institute of Architecture Students resolution on unpaid interns as statedbelow:

    Whereas the American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS) believes thebelittling of architectural work, especially the work of interns (including workingstudents), by firms not compensating employees in compliance with the lawcontributes to a larger problem in the architecture profession; and

    Whereas it is a known fact that interns are offered and take jobs where they willwork for free or for less than the federal wage laws require; and

    Whereas interns need quality experience and should have their work valued andsupported by professionals;

    Be it resolved that the members of the AIAS support the efforts of interns whorefuse to work for a firm that knowingly does not compensate interns in fullcompliance with the law; and

    Be it further resolved that the AIAS will not invite partners of such firms to speak atnational or chapter AIAS events or participate in national AIAS competition juries.

    Policy. ACSA shall not invite partners of firms who do not pay their interns (i.e., thoseparticipating in IDP or equivalent required training and including working students) inaccordance with all applicable laws:

    to speak at ACSA national or regional events; to participate on ACSA competition juries; to be elected or appointed to ACSA office; to submit work for ACSA publications; or to receive ACSA awards.

    All participants in ACSA-sponsored programs and publications shall be made aware ofthis policy. ACSA encourages members schools to implement similar policies.

    is distributed prior to the conference with a deadline for submission in the fall or winter.Papers are selected for presentation and publication through a blind referee process.

    ACSA/AIA Teachers SeminarThis summer workshop is held on alternate years (rotating with the internationalconference). The seminar focuses on improving the teaching skills of attendees in oneor more areas of focus. The subject matter ranges from exploring pedagogical

    techniques to discussing architectural philosophies that will improve the abilities ofteachers. Although beginning faculty are particularly encouraged to attend, the topicsaddressed have appeal for educators in all phases of career development.

    and-white prints no smaller than 5 x 7 inches, clearly labeled (include author's nameand any required photo credits), slides or digital files. Captioned photocopiedreproductions are not acceptable for publication, but must be included and labeledfor use by MIT Press.

    2. Authors must obtain permission, pay royalty fees, etc., as required to reproduce their

    illustrations.3. Authors of written articles may wish to suggest layouts for their articles, which mustbe developed in accordance with the look of JAE.

    Digital Scans and File Format GuidelinesTo insure the best possible reproduction and printing of your images, the followingguidelines should be followed:1. Make sure your original images are of acceptable quality before scanning.2. Scan images at 600 dpi minimum, 1200 dpi preferred, especially since some images

    may be blown up to full page size. Usually, digital cameras do not produce the highquality required for printing.

    3. Name your files according to the following: your last name+Figure01.tif. Example:SMITH_figure01.tif.4. Files should be saved in TIFF (or PICT) format. JPEG is a web-only format, not

    suitable for publication in print.5. Save files on Zip Disks (100MB or 250MB) or CDs. Do not use old 3.5 floppy

    diskettes.6. Make sure that there are no random files on your disk that do not relate to your

    article. OLD versions of your files should not be submitted with your disk; they areconfusing to the editors and must be deleted.

    7. Include a set of hardcopy printouts for your digital files; MIT Press uses theseprintouts for reference during the editing/layout process; these printouts should be

    labeled with the figure number and the caption, and your name. If you have anyquestions, contact the managing editor before scanning.

    One of the following checklists is required with your submission to the journal. Print outthe checklist, verify that you have included each item on the checklist, and include thechecklist with your submission package. All checklists are HTML and PDF documents(PDF for best printing). NOTE: Use FINAL Checklists ONLY for accepted papers, not forgeneral submissions to our Calls for Papers.

    Important Note About Storage Media: Do not use the old 3.5 inch floppy diskettes tostore your files to send to JAE. These no longer can be read by many computers and

    usually arrive either corrupted or damaged. Use CDs (CD-R or CD-RW) or ZIP Disks(100 MB or 250 MB). Also, do not write protectyour CD or ZIP. Format your CDs forPC; this insures that both PCs and Macs will be able to read your CD.

    If you have any questions about Storage Media issues, contact the Managing Editorbefore submitting your article.
