Voting members of the university faculty should watch for an email from their school or college’s Faculty Senate Nominating Committee representative with a link to the Opportunities for Faculty Governance survey, which will reopen soon.
Being part of a Faculty Senate standing committee gives you the opportunity to help shape educational, research and scholarly activities at Case Western Reserve University.
Some of the Faculty Senate’s recent activities have included:
- Improving communications between the Faculty Senate and Board of Trustees, including regular meetings among leadership and research committees;
- Holding listening sessions with the college and each of the schools to identify concerns, themes and ideas for how the Faculty Senate can take a more proactive approach in shared governance; and
- Introducing language in the Faculty Handbook to require regular administration of the Faculty Climate Survey and Faculty Salary Equity Survey.
