Council, through the Maritime Administrator, will provide the Secretary
with advice and recommendations on the issues identified in the
National Academy of Public Administration's Comprehensive Assessment of
the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy November 2021 report. The advice and
recommendations will relate to the morale, discipline, social climate,
curriculum, instruction, physical equipment, fiscal affairs, academic
methods, administrative policies, infrastructure needs, and other
matters relating to the Academy.
Under its charter, the Council is comprised of no fewer than 8
members, but not more than 14 members, appointed by the Secretary for
terms of up to two years, and appointed from among individuals with
diverse backgrounds and expertise that will allow them to contribute
balanced points of view and ideas regarding improving the Academy.

administration; Academy graduates; Members of the armed forces;

duties. The Council will aim to meet in person at least once each
fiscal year with additional meetings held via teleconference.
II. Nomination Process
Members of the Council are appointed by the Secretary for two-year
terms. The selection and appointment process for Council members is
