UNIVERSITY FACULTY SENATE

The University Senate considers matters of general interest to the University and matters that affect more than one school. It may make recommendations on matters of educational policy. It may recommend candidates for honorary degrees. It may elect special and standing committees of faculty members to consider matters within the powers of the senate.

The membership of the senate includes all faculty at the ranks of assistant professor and above (adjunct, contributed service, and visiting faculty excluded.)

The officers of the senate are a presiding officer, who is the president of the University, and a secretary elected by the members. The provost may by delegation preside in place of the president.
