Purpose and Powers of the Faculty Senate
The University Faculty has legislative
powers in all matters pertaining to
standards of admission, registration,
requirements for and the granting of
earned degrees, curriculum, instruction,
research, extracurricular activities,
discipline of students, educational
policies and standards of the
university, and all other matters
pertaining to the conduct of faculty
affairs, including the discipline of
their own members. The Faculty Senate of
the University of South Carolina, having
been created by direction of the
University Faculty to act by and for
that body, is endowed with all the
powers and authority of the University
Faculty except for those powers
specifically reserved by that body to
itself, provided that the University
Faculty may amend or repeal any general
policy decisions adopted by the Faculty
Senate. [ From The Faculty Manual ]
