Faculty Governance and Organization

For the purpose of Section 3, reference to “the Colleges” shall refer to the following unless otherwise noted:

  • College of Arts and Sciences
  • College of Business
  • College of Education and Allied Professions
  • College of Fine and Performing Arts
  • College of Health and Human Sciences
  • Kimmel School of Construction Management and Technology
  • Hunter Library

NOTE: Past practice has been to award the Chair of the Faculty Senate a six credit release from teaching each semester of the academic year. The Provost Office has provided funding equivalent to the adjunct rate to support the release. Although not a part of the arrangements in the past, the provost will allow the Chair of the Senate discretion in allocating the release time. For example, if the chair delegates some of the chair’s duties to an elected officer because of an inability to give up some teaching responsibilities, the elected officer may be given a portion of the chair’s release time. This arrangement will require approval by the appropriate dean and provost.
