Faculty Senators
In order for the Faculty Senate to fulfill its role as the primary voice of the faculty, its members must each meet their responsibilities as a Senator. These responsibilities are characterized by representation, communication, and dedication.
- Senators are responsible for being the voice for their colleagues in the Senate and faithfully representing their views.
- Senators are responsible for communicating with their colleagues about Senate agenda items. Communication should be regular and timely. Senators should have a regular place on their unit’s meeting agenda and should engage colleagues in discussion about the senate agenda.
- Senators are responsible for encouraging their colleagues to identify new issues of importance to the faculty.
- Senators are responsible for regularly attending meetings and for finding alternates for those times when attendance is not possible. Senators are responsible for preparing for meetings. In particular, prior to meetings, Senators should: read the agenda materials; present the issues on the agenda to their colleagues and solicit input; and ready questions concerning agenda items.
- Senators are responsible for participating in meetings.
- Senators are responsible for serving on committees.
An active and effective Faculty Senate is essential to a healthy university, not least because it safeguards faculty and students against the creeping corporatization so present in modern academia. An active and effective Senate, however, requires members who are all willing to take on the responsibilities listed above. Joining the Faculty Senate is agreeing to contribute in this way.
