Historical

The University Faculty Council, renamed Faculty Senate in 2010, consists of representatives appointed by the Council President from each academic department and learning resources at Eastern Michigan University. Faculty Council was established to act as the representative voice of the faculty in academic matters that impact more than one college and in matters beyond the Academic Division that are not rights and responsibilities of the University. Faculty Council was responsible for determining general education policy, internal operations, and external relations.

Currently, Faculty Senate meets the first and third Wednesdays of each month during the academic year to discuss topics of importance to the academic community of Eastern Michigan University. For additional information please visit the Faculty Senate website /www.emich.edu/facultysenate/>
