Senator Responsibilities

general, the faculty bylaws state that “The Faculty shall be responsible for the development of the educational program of the University and for the conduct of the University's instructional, research, and service programs,” and that “to discharge these responsibilities, the Faculty shall create a University Senate and shall delegate its power to that Senate.” The specification of faculty rights and responsibilities is enumerated in Article I section 2 of the faculty bylaws, available on the university senate web site, Senate Home. The process by which the senate accomplishes these activities is delineated in the senate charter, also at that web site. Part of the rights and duties of senators from the bylaws and charter are: (with the relevant bylaws and charter article numbers)


1. Senators are required to regularly consult with their constituencies. (bylaws II.1.6)
2. Senators are required to attend Senate meetings. Senate meetings are held at 3:30 on Mondays, at least monthly during the academic year. (II.8.2.2)
3. Much of the routine business of the Senate occurs within its councils. Senators serve on one of the Senate councils and regularly attend council meetings. Typically, every member of the council will also serve on a committee. (Senate charter SV, SVIII.1, and SVIII.5 )
4. Senate meetings generally start with reports of officers and then of council activity, followed by bills brought by councils and individual senators. The informational section of a council report may be questioned during a Senate meeting while the report is on the floor. Additionally, a senator may challenge any action taken by a council, by making an appropriate motion under "new business." Senators may place items on the agenda by submitting them to the executive committee or by approval by a two-thirds vote at the meeting itself. (II.7.7.1 and charter SVIII.4)

Appointing qualified persons to state offices that carry out the laws and direct the policies of state government. Some of these offices are filled by appointment only. Others are ordinarily elected by the people, but the governor must occasionally appoint individuals to fill vacancies. The governor also appoints persons to a wide range of advisory bodies and task forces that assist him with specific issues.
