A brief description of the institution’s formal participatory or shared governance bodies:
Institution has formal participatory or shared governance bodies through which the following campus stakeholders can regularly participate in the governance of the institution (e.g., decision-making processes, plan/policy formulation and review): • ● Students • ● Academic staff (i.e., faculty members) • ● Non-academic staff SUNY Brockport has a University Senate that represents academic and non-academic faculty and staff as well as professional staff. We also have a student representative on Senate. Administrators attend Senate as non-voting members. This is the highest Shared Governance body at SUNY Brockport. The bodies may be managed by the institution (e.g., formal boards, committees, and councils), by stakeholder groups (e.g., independent committees and organizations that are formally recognized by the institution), or jointly (e.g., union/management structures). Senate is managed by a volunteer Executive Committee and a representative from each department and division within the University. Senate serves in an advisory capacity with the President of the University. The President of the University has regular meetings with the Presidents of Senate (Past, Current, and Elect) as well as the Executive Committee and Senate as a whole.
