Faculty Senate

Faculty all pose for a picture at a faculty senate meeting.

Each year, departments elect representatives for three-year terms in the Faculty Senate. This organization is the body by which faculty can make formal recommendations on new policies and procedures, changes in existing policies and/or procedures, and all other matters involving faculty.
