Governance

All voices in the Pacific University community are important.

The university governance process provides individual senates for undergraduate students, graduate and professional students, faculty and staff. Each organization has its own responsibilities, as well as a voice on the University Council.

Together, these representative bodies provide a mechanism for ensuring positive university life for all members of the community and for aligning policy and procedures in cooperation with the President, President’s Council and Board of Trustees.
