• Maintain through the president of the senate and the senate’s Executive Committee a direct line of communication to the administration.
• Provide faculty input for the planning and implementation of college programs and facilities.
• Promote better communication between faculty and administration, between faculty and other faculty, and between faculty and students.   

Membership 

The membership shall be made up of full-time teaching faculty and staff members who hold academic rank. The Executive Committee and the Senate representatives are elected by the faculty.  Part-time faculty members, also called adjunct faculty, may elect a representative to attend faculty senate meetings.
