About Us
Governance
Academic governance is central to the mission of promoting standards of excellence in teaching and research. As a community of scholars, each of us needs to think about our respective roles in promoting those standards of quality for our students. Participating in academic governance is one way we can contribute to keeping the profession alive and strengthening higher education.
As you review our Web site, please take note of the many individuals who have met this responsibility through their service to the Faculty Senate, its councils and its committees. Together, we articulate our common concerns and propose solutions for our constant challenges.
