The University Faculty Senate is the faculty governance body in academic matters of university-wide concern at The City University of New York. The Chair is an ex-officio CUNY Trustee and members of the the Executive Committee serve as
voting members of CUNY Board of Trustees Committees. The Chair of
the University Faculty Senate also presides at meetings of the CUNY
Council of Faculty Governance Leaders. The 136 elected Senators represent 12,000 full- and part-time faculty, and provide a representative, collective faculty voice from each of the 20 campuses. Senators are charged with responsibility in issues of curriculum, degree requirements, and
institutional mission at the University level. Senators serve on
various university-wide committees, including those dealing with
academic governance of the CUNYBA, the School of Professional Studies,
the Research Foundation, and the CUNY Academy. The University Faculty Senate and its
Committees work with the Senates on the CUNY campuses and the CUNY Discipline
Councils.
The University Faculty Senate also informs the University Community of new documents & proposals up for consideration before the Board of Trustees, and helps provide for appropriate consultation on the issues. One recent example is our new Academic Freedom Document. Please read our plenary transcript dealing with the possible revision of the PSC-CUNY awards process. Also, please volunteer to serve on the University Committee on Research Awards and help distribute PSC-CUNY grants in your area of expertise. Click here to see more details! . |
