The survey is usually the initial call for concerns, but concerns are also brought forward by individual senators. Concerns come to the Faculty Senate from various sources. The Faculty Senate is a trouble shooting organization. The importance of the senate, as opposed to other bodies on campus, is that it is an elected group, which is fundamentally different than an appointed committee. The Senate plays an extremely important role in protecting the academic institution.
Issues come to resolution by persevering year after year after year.
