University of New Mexico. Faculty Senate.

Originally there were large meetings at least 4 times a year with the entire faculty and a Policy Committee that reviewed the rules/regulations of the faculty. It was decided that these large faculty meetings and the Policy Committee would be replaced in July of 1976 with a Faculty Senate. Each of the colleges would elect a certain number of faculty members to represent their college in the Faculty Senate. The Faculty Senate acts for the entire faculty in coordinating faculty governance at the University of New Mexico. The Faculty Senate has the power to act on all Faculty business except specified business to be reserved for the faculty as a whole, which meets twice a year. The Senate exercises the faculty's responsibilities for education, care of students, and their contributions to the academic excellence of the university and to an environment in which all members of the campus community are free to learn and to communicate.
