What is required of a Faculty Senate Member?
If elected, members serve two (2) year terms of office, to begin on July 1st of the
year elected. The Senate typically meets once a month on Thursday afternoons (usually
the third or fourth Thursday of the month) at 12:30pm, and if a member is absent without
proper excuse from two or more regular meetings in any one semester, that member may
be ejected and replaced. Members thus need to work with their school directors/department
heads to avoid class conflicts before students register for classes, as well as other
scheduling incompatibilities. Members should also report important news to their colleagues.
