Senators

About the University Senate

Chairpersoned by the President, the University Senate is the chief deliberative body of the University for the discussion of all matters of University policy and practice in cases in which two or more schools have a substantial interest. For example, the Senate is empowered to set each year's academic calendar and discuss certain University-wide policies.

The Senate's membership consists of members of the Tenured/Tenure Track Faculty Senators Council; Full-Time Continuing Contract Faculty Senators Council; Deans Council; Student Senators Council; senators elected by the Administrative Management Council; and designated officers of the University.

AMC Senate Representation

The constituency of the AMC elects seven Senators and 13 Alternate Senators in May to serve for the following two years. The Chairperson of the AMC holds one Senate seat for the duration of his/her term in office. The Vice-chairperson holds the alternate position for the Chairperson. Committee assignments are noted with each Senator's name.

Each year, the AMC's Senate Financial Affairs Committee Senator works in partnership with the AMC Chair and Benefits Committee Chair to submit a letter for financial priority recommendations that impact the administrator community.

Ad hoc and special committee representation

At the invitation of the University, the AMC has appointed representatives to a variety of ad hoc and special University-wide committees.
