A brief description of the institution’s formal participatory or shared governance bodies:
Academic Staff: The University Faculty Senate consists of tenured and tenure-track representatives from each academic department and learning resources at EMU with its Executive Committee consisting of elected officers and committee chairs appointed by the Senate President. Part- and full time lecturers are not included in this nor in any other governing body.
The Faculty Senate shall act as the representative voice of the Eastern Michigan University faculty (the EMU-AAUP Bargaining Unit) in academic matters that affect more than one college and in university matters beyond the Academic Division that are not rights and responsibilities of the EMU-AAUP. (Senate By-Laws, 2018).
Students: ‘Student Government is a representative body of all students on campus at EMU. We were established to secure a powerful and focused voice to the administration regarding student concerns. We represent the voice of students on and off campus, to the University's Administration, Faculty, and Board of Regents. We also represent students' interests across the state of Michigan, at the State Capital, and across the Country.
The bulk make-up of Student Government is the EMU Student Body Senate. The Senate consists of 17 individuals who work diligently through committees and resolutions to make the students' voice heard in the larger community. Part of Student Government is the Executive Board consisting of the Student Body President and Vice President, and the Directors who act as chairpersons of their respective committees and oversee Student Government initiatives.” (About us, emusg.com)
