The Faculty Senate operates according to the Principles of Shared Governance. The Senate serves as the main channel of communication between faculty members and the central administration of the University. The Senate constitutes the principal advisory body to the President and Provost of the University and has the responsibility to review and make recommendations to them concerning decisions of the University on all matters pertaining to the welfare of the University, focusing particularly on those related to the academic mission. Senators shall report regularly to their constituencies.
The Senate may discuss and take a position on any subject of University concern, and may initiate policies on these matters to the President, either directly or through its committees. The Senate appoints faculty members to serve on the University-wide committees as well as Faculty Senate committees; these committees carry out much of the work of the Senate. Faculty members are afforded an opportunity each year to volunteer for committee service. The Senate will have a significant role in the appointment of academic administrators, as well as the periodic performance reviews of such administrators.
