Mission

The SEC ensures that the day-to-day business of the Faculty Senate progresses and represents the Faculty Senate in university governance.

Recent Achievements

• SEC provided campus-wide leadership in fulfilling the G2G-mandated shift from existing teacher certification programs to BA+ programs: educating administrators at multiple levels on the demands of the change, and working with the deans to recruit faculty from all colleges to serve on an ad hoc committee to design the BA+ programs. The Senate ratified the Committee's membership in March 2016, and the Committee began designing the programs in April.
• SEC members have contributed to all aspects of the University's preparation for accreditation review: including UOG's Institutional Report and responses to WASC's Lines of Inquiry.

The SCIE makes recommendations to promote compliance with WASC accreditation standards, develops and promotes standards of academic and professional ethics, protects academic freedom, and protects the University’s autonomy and integrity.
