Bylaws and Governance Guidelines

 

Florida Atlantic University Faculty Senate Constitution and Bylaws

The Florida Atlantic University Faculty Senate Constitution and Bylaws are established by the faculty to define faculty governance of the University. In establishing them, it is recognized that authority for operation of the university is vested in the President of the University, by law and by the policies of the FAU Board of Trustees; at the same time it is recognized that faculty plays an essential role in the development of the policies and practices by which the university fulfills its academic mission. The goal of faculty governance, and of these bylaws, is to maintain the respect and communication between faculty and administration that make it possible for the university to function.
