Faculty Senate

The IUPUC Faculty Senate is the governing body for the faculty of Indiana University-Purdue University Columbus. Each Division within IUPUC elects two Senators who represent their division at the Senate meetings. The Senate also includes two members representing the adjunct faculty as well as two additional Senators elected from the entire faculty.

The Senate has standing committees that are chaired by faculty members who may or may not be Senators. The standing committees of the Senate include Academic Affairs, Constitution and Bylaws, Budgetary and Resources Policy, Faculty Affairs, Nominations, and Student Affairs. To view the purpose and agenda priorities for each committee, continue here and select the committee.

The IUPUC Senate approved its original Constitution and Bylaws in May of 2004 and has subsequently amended it five times. The Senate may act on such concerns as student conduct, faculty workload, time modules for classes, and conflict of commitment/conflict of interest.
