The University
University Governance
Indiana University of Pennsylvania is one of fourteen members of the State System of Higher Education in Pennsylvania. Oversight of the System is vested in the Board of Governors, the members of which are appointed by the governor. Each university has its own Council of Trustees, responsible for financial oversight and insuring compliance of university policies with state law. Responsibility for the day-to-day operations is entrusted to the university president, who is the chief executive officer.
Due to the complexity of the university, the president relies on the University Senate to develop and approve curricula and to advise the president on setting policies that affect and shape the working and learning environment at IUP. The University Senate is composed of faculty, students, and administrators who are both elected and appointed by their peers.
Many of the important policies governing the working and learning environment, such as the policy on sexual harassment, the academic integrity policy, and the policy on nondiscrimination, are given in this catalog or the student handbook (The Source) and are also available on the World Wide Web at http://www.iup.edu. To insure a nurturing environment where all faculty, students, and administrators can work together in harmony, it is essential that all members of the university be familiar with these policies as they set the expectations for civil behavior and academic conduct.
