Our Faculty Representatives
The Western New England University Faculty Senate serves as the primary representative body for all university faculty (i.e., tenured, tenure-track, full-time, part-time, clinical, and adjunct faculty) to the administration. It is the expectation of the faculty that the administration will communicate with and maintain a collaborative partnership with the University Faculty Senate on all matters relevant to the academic mission of the institution.
As the representative faculty body, the University Faculty Senate serves as the sole faculty recipient, voice and point of triage for new academic proposals, curricular matters, budgetary matters, compensation and benefits, handbook consideration, requests for faculty to serve on university committees, undergraduate and graduate academic standards, reviews and recommendations to the Provost for revisions to the academic calendar, and all other matters it deems pertinent to the academic mission of Western New England.
