Meeting Information

General Meeting Patterns

Faculty Senate Executive Committee (FSEC)

Regular meetings of the Faculty Senate Executive Committee are held when classes are in session during weeks when the Facutly Senate is not meeting. For an item to be considered on the Faculty Senate agenda, it must be submitted to the Faculty Senate Chair well in advance of the FSEC meeting when the next senate agenda is being considered for approval.

Faculty Senate (FS)

Meetings of the Faculty Senate have traditionally been held on Tuesdays of each month beginning at 2 pm when classes are in session (senate meets either once a month for a two and a half hour meeting or twice a month for one hour and fifteen minute meetings). Meetings are typically held in person in UC 259 but can also be held remotely as needed. All faculty – as well as the broader public – are invited to attend.

All Faculty Meetings (AllFac)

According to Article V Section 1 of the Faculty Constitution, "Regular meetings of the Faculty shall be held early each fall semester and during the first ten weeks of each spring semester." In practice, All Faculty Meetings are usually held 3:30-5pm on the third Tuesdays of October and March. Special meetings of the Faculty may be called only when classes are in session during a fall or spring semester. A special meeting shall be called by the Chancellor: (a) at the request of any faculty committee; (b) at the request of the Faculty Senate; or (c) by petition in accordance with the Faculty Constitution.

Meeting documents (agendas, minutes, & action items) for each meeting of the Faculty Senate are archived and available to the campus community. Please visit the main Faculty Senate website for access.
