FACULTY SENATE
Charge:
The
Faculty Senate is the permanent body representing the faculty for the
formulation of university policy and procedures in matters pertaining to
institutional purpose, general academic considerations, curricular matters,
university resources, and faculty personnel (appointments, promotion and
tenure). All issues of university
governance affecting the faculty at large should go before the full Faculty
Senate before implementation. Senators
are the voice of the faculty.
Composition: 43 Term: 2 years staggered
Selection: Each of the six units: (a)
College of Administrative Science; (b) College of Liberal Arts; (c) College of
Engineering; (d) College of Science; (e) College of Nursing; (f) the Library
will have a number of members in the Senate which will assure that the unit has
one member for each seven tenured, tenure-earning, clinical faculty, or
research faculty members, or major fraction thereof. Units will not have representation until they
have at least four tenured, tenure-earning, clinical or research faculty
members. Each unit which has formally
recognized departments will elect its senators as follows: within the unit each formally recognized
department will elect one member of the Senate for each seven tenured, tenure-earning,
research or clinical faculty in the department, or major fraction thereof. Elections will be by the tenured,
tenure-earning, research and clinical faculty of each department. If necessary, all tenured, tenure-earning,
research or clinical faculty will then elect sufficient at-large members to
bring the total unit membership (including departmental selections) up to the
number required to achieve the 1:7 ratio.
