Governance

Paragraphs

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.
