Mission
The Faculty Senate, an elected and representative body of the Faculty Council, functions to:
- provide a forum wherein any matter associated with academic policy can be openly discussed by any faculty member;
- enable the faculty to reach informed collective recommendations on academic matters;
- advise the administration on academic matters including new and existing academic programs;
- provide advice to administration on fiscal, personnel, and long-range planning matters; and
- provide the faculty a representative voice in issues relating to the exercise of academic freedom, professional rights, general welfare, working conditions, and professional responsibilities in the university community.
The Faculty Senate and its component committees operate in official capacity with authority delegated by the Chancellor.
