Each member institution designates its chief academic officer as its representative to the Council of Institutional Representatives (IREP), which meets twice a year. In addition, the Chair and Vice Chair of the Senior Student Affairs Affinity Group have seats on the Council. IREPS meet in January at the annual meeting of the American Association of Colleges and Universities and in June at the Summer Institute. Every three years, there is a joint meeting between the Chief Academic Officers and the Chief Finance and Administration Officers.

The IREP Council approves and implements policy related to the promotion of best practices in liberal education, including the purposeful and innovative integration of the liberal arts and sciences, professional studies, and civic engagement, both curricular and co-curricular, and plans and oversees related initiatives, e.g., best practice dissemination, professional development programs, off-campus study initiatives, and proposals for new collaboration.
