The Faculty Senate was established in 1988 and is a representative body of 82 members elected by the General Faculty of the university. Prior to that time, the General Faculty was the only mechanism for faculty participation in university governance. Meetings were poorly attended. A Faculty Council existed, but it was advisory and had no authority or responsibility. The Faculty Senate has legislative responsibility for general academic and educational policy. It also serves to facilitate communication among faculty, students, and administration. Finally, it cooperates with the administration in conflict resolution. The Faculty Senate conducts its business through a system of five councils (Academic Affairs, Faculty Development and Administrative Relations, Faculty Governance, Judiciary and Appeals, and Resource Policies and Allocations) and their committees. 2008-2009 Faculty Senate Meeting Schedule All meetings will be 3:30-5:00 p.m. in the Great Hall, Memorial Union.
