Faculty Participation in University Governance Clause Samples

The Faculty Participation in University Governance clause establishes the right and mechanism for faculty members to be involved in the decision-making processes of the university. Typically, this clause outlines the roles faculty may play on committees, in academic senates, or in advisory groups, and may specify the types of issues on which faculty input is sought, such as curriculum development, policy changes, or budgetary matters. By formalizing faculty involvement, the clause ensures that academic staff have a voice in shaping institutional policies and practices, promoting shared governance and fostering a collaborative academic environment.

Faculty Participation in University Governance. A. Faculty participation in University-wide academic affairs is exercised primarily through the elected Faculty Senate and the several committees, commissions and councils established by or in accord with the Charter and Bylaws of the Faculty Senate incorporated in the University Policy Register at 2-05 and 2-06. B. The Educational Policies Council, as established by the Charter and Bylaws of the Faculty Senate and operating in accordance with the provisions of 2-07 of the University Policy Register, shall be the primary advisory body on curriculum matters at the University-wide level.
