Faculty Senate Bylaws

Each School (Nursing, Pharmacy/Biomedical Sciences) maintains their own Faculty Bylaws. Faculty Bylaws are defined guidelines and procedures for the organization and governance of each school within the University. The purpose of having such guiding principles is so that faculty members may understand their responsibility and faithfully perform their duties with respect to education, research/ scholarship, service, scholarship, cultural diversity and Christian Values, the pillars upon which the University is formed.

The principle upon which faculty bylaws are created includes providing for an effective means of collective collaborative participation by the faculty in the consideration, formulation, and implementation of recommendations and decisions related to the academic policies of the School and those University policies that affect the School and its faculty. Faculty bylaws are governing documents, which provide the faculty members with an opportunity to express, through representation, their concerns, and opinions about matters vital to the welfare of the University, the program (school) and the excellence of its educational programs.
