The Faculty Senate ensures a broad participatory role from the cross-campus faculty in the initiation, development, implementation, and evaluation of the educational program at SUNY Broome.
Overall Purpose of the FS, Responsibility, and Goals Guided by its Purpose and Responsibility, the FS body of the whole:
- Initiates discussion and advancement of academic issues as brought forward by individual faculty members or faculty constituencies (departments, divisions, committees, or other groups).
- Facilitates discussions of and formulates recommendations pertaining to academic issues brought to its attention by the Board of Trustees, the President, other administrative officials or groups, the College Senate, the Student Assembly, the Faculty Association, SUNY, the FCCC, accrediting bodies, or other appropriate individuals, groups, or bodies.
- Determines and executes the most credible and valid types of review of academic matters based on the complexity of the issue, urgency for a decision, and the availability of constituency groups, including during the summer months or periods when the College is closed (insofar as the FA contract permits the involvement of certain members during these periods, as in the case of 10-month faculty members).
- Communicates with and makes recommendations directly to the President or Vice President for Academic Affairs, relative to academic issues, policies, and standards, as well as aspects of student life that relate to the educational process. Its scope and sphere of influence will be articulated in its standing and ad hoc committee structure and, as such, will have final recommending responsibilities and influence in the areas of activity central to the interests of the faculty and the academic program(s) of the College. In addition, the FS will provide a forum for the consideration of other general academic matters of interest or concern to the College community or academic issues affecting the institution.
- Will assure that it operates within the campus community in a manner consistent with the overarching guiding principles of Campus Governance.
That is, it will:- Capture the voice of stakeholders in formal and informal ways
- Adhere to shared governance principles and protocols
- Avoid being overly bureaucratic or time consuming and function efficiently, effectively, and in a timely manner.
- Prioritize and establish timelines for conducting and completing work/business.
- Promote information sharing, tracking, and reporting mechanisms to communicate its activity, as well as those of the other governance bodies as it relates to FS business, to ensure the integrity of its processes.
- The FS shall take as a core part of its mission to communicate regularly with the Student Assembly, to encourage students to seek out and assume leadership roles, and to assist students in developing and evincing an effective, heard voice in shared governance matters.
