Each spring semester, the Faculty Senate office calculates the appropriate senate representation for each college and school. Senators are elected for a three-year term in the spring, with the term beginning with the fall semester. Every faculty member has the right to attend and address the senate, but only senators may vote.
Senators
- Should join online meetings through the Senate's Blackboard organization
- All Senate meetings follow Robert’s Rules of Order. A Quick Guide to Parliamentary Procedure [pdf] is provided for reference.
- New Senator orientation will be held prior to the first Faculty Senate meeting of
the academic year.
