University Standing Committees and Task Forces

Faculty Senate

Duties

The purpose of the Faculty Senate is to aid The University of Alabama in making judgments on questions of policy, development, and operations and thereby to assist the University in its continuing quest for excellence. It seeks to accomplish this goal by: 1) facilitating and encouraging meaningful input on matters of general faculty concern, and 2) providing a readily accessible channel of communication through which continual dialogue and exchange of information and ideas may be carried on between the faculty and University officials.
