The Academic Senate is the Faculty equivalent of the Student Council. Representation on the Academic Senate is important for faculty and student communication. The Academic Senate is a main advisory body regarding academic policy, and it is necessary that students have a voice on these issues.
All committees have one student representative.
This committee oversees the budget of the Academic Senate. This committee is important to students because its decisions have much direct impact on student and faculty interaction. This committee investigates a broad range of topics including policy decisions affecting physical plant, location of the bookstore and forming an equipment center for entire departments. This committee is also doing research on student employment with physical plants. This committee deals with those issues which are of direct concern to members of the faculty.
