Goals & Objectives:
The faculty participates in the governance of North
Carolina Central University through the formal structured
mechanism of the Faculty Senate. The Senate is a faculty-elected
body consisting of faculty representatives from each
department and/or school. The Faculty Senate is the
official body recognized in The Code that may advise
the Chancellor on any matters pertaining to the institution
that are of interest and concern to the Faculty. Appropriate
procedures have been established to provide the Senate
the opportunity to give advice with respect to questions
of academic policy and institutional governance, with
particular emphasis upon matters of curriculum, degree
requirements, instructional standards, and grading
criteria. The structure of the Senate, its organization,
methods of election, and other operational matters
are found in the Senate constitution and Bylaws (Appendix
II of the Faculty Handbook). The Faculty Senate amended
the Constitution on April 1992 and is currently under
amendment by the Ad hoc Committee of the Senate. The
bylaws were amended on May 1994 and currently under
amendment. A summary of the major Senate committees
and their fields is included in the bylaws.

Faculty Membership on Other Committees
