Faculty Senate
Welcome to the Faculty Senate
The Faculty Senate serves as the official representative body of the faculty and the link between faculty and administration on matters. The senate reviews and recommends academic policies and procedures, which are compiled in the Faculty Manual. It also handles grievance procedures, makes recommendations concerning the faculty’s welfare and participates in the selection of top University administrators. In recent years the senate has worked to establish greater rapport with the Board of Trustees. The senate’s president attends meetings of the board’s Educational Policy Committee and addresses the board at its regular quarterly meetings. The president reports to the faculty twice a year at the general faculty meeting.
