The University
Nothing relating to the organization and administration of the University Senate shall be construed so as to limit the authority of the Council of Trustees or the president of the university with respect to the administration of the university as prescribed by law.
Composition and Elective Procedures
The University Senate shall consist of a number of faculty double the number of departments of the
university, an administrative segment one-third the size of the faculty segment, and a student segment
one-half the size of the faculty segment. The Senate shall also include one Alumni Association
representative and four representatives from staff. Faculty, administrative, and staff members must hold
full-time contracts at the time of election or appointment, and students must be full-time and in good
standing. Student refers to both the undergraduate and graduate student bodies. The student segment shall
consist of ten times as many undergraduate students as graduate students, each delegation to be elected by
its representative student body. Undergraduate students shall be elected under the auspices of the recognized
student association (as defined by Pennsylvania state Act 1982-188) and graduate students through elections
arranged by their comparable body. In both cases, the officiating body shall call for and accept voluntary
nominations for election to the Senate. Student members of the University Senate serve on most of the
Senate committees.
