A brief description of the institution’s formal participatory or shared governance bodies:
At the college level faculty governance is coordinated by the Faculty Assembly. The Assembly is composed of 50 representatives elected from academic departments, professional staff, administration and the student body.
The Faculty Assembly deliberates about programs, resources, policies, and proposals that are referred to it by its Councils and Committees, as well as many other issues of concern to the campus. The Assembly’s Executive Board, Councils and Committees serve as important avenues of consultation with the administration on a wide variety of matters. Appropriate administrative and professional staff serve as ex officio members of many of the Councils and Committees.
The Student Association is the student government on campus. They act as the voice of the students on this campus. They also distribute $1.4 million, funded by the students, to various organizations, clubs, departments and off-campus services. Student television station WTOP, Centro bus to Syracuse and SAPB programs are some large examples of where our money goes.
