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 UFS holds conferences on topics of general academic interest. The next two conferences scheduled for AY 2010-11 are to be on Diversity in CUNY and on Higher Education in the Prisons. Please look at our past conferences. 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 see our General Information Site for more faculty governance information. Please read our plenary transcript dealing with the possible revision of the PSC-CUNY awards process. .Please see the results of the Facuty Experience Survey! |
