University Senate

A University Senate is a governing body composed of faculty members, students, and sometimes staff or alumni, responsible for advising and making decisions on academic policies, curriculum changes, and overall educational standards within the university. It functions as a forum for shared governance, ensuring that diverse perspectives are considered in shaping the academic environment. The Senate collaborates with university administration but maintains independence to uphold academic integrity and quality. Its role is vital in fostering transparent decision-making and representing the interests of the university community in academic matters.
