The Faculty Senate is the body to which all faculty committees except the Organization Committee and the Elections Committee report. Its membership, functions, and organization are prescribed in Article VI of the Faculty Constitution. It meets at least once a month, September through May. Any faculty member may attend its meetings. No non-Senator has ever been refused a request to be allowed to address the Senate.

The Senate is not involved in the establishment of faculty committees, except to make suggestions to the Organization Committee. It does establish committees of its own, to which persons who are not Senators may be appointed or elected. The Chancellor often asks the Senate or its Executive Committee to suggest faculty members for appointment to administrative committees and some seats on student committees are filled by the Senate.

MEMBERSHIP

Senators shall be elected according to the following rules in elections conducted by the Elections Committee, which shall adjudicate difficulties.

Senators at-large shall be elected from each rank (Professor, Associate Professor, Assistant Professor/Instructor) by the faculty of that rank. Each rank shall elect one Senator for each 20 faculty of that rank or major fraction thereof, except that each rank shall elect at least one Senator. Senators at-large are elected in even years. Senators by constituencies are elected in odd years.
