Provost

3.1 Faculty Council and Faculty Senate

Full-time tenured faculty, tenure-track faculty, clinical-track faculty, teaching-track faculty and full-time lecturers/instructors belong to the Faculty Council, which meets at least twice per year. The Faculty Senate is a group of elected representatives from each academic college that meets regularly during long semesters.

The Faculty Council operates under its own constitution and bylaws to consider matters of interest to the faculty and to make recommendations to the president and provost regarding those matters. Especially in its responsibilities to review and make recommendations on faculty personnel actions and faculty grievances, the Faculty Council committee members operate as officers of the university with authority delegated by the president.

The constitution of the Faculty Council is available in Appendix B of the Faculty Manual.
