The UNT Faculty Senate - with its shared governance mission – strives to assist the university in meeting the needs of its students, faculty and staff. Developing and nurturing a vibrant committee structure with strong faculty involvement is a critical part of that effort.

The UNT Faculty Senate (FS) has twenty-three active standing committees, three of which are elected by full-time faculty. The Senate fills these committees, as well as other university committees, with interested faculty throughout the year as vacancies arise. Faculty who participate in committee service find it is a good way to become knowledgeable about university policies and structures. Faculty wishing to serve on a committee which has a vacancy in their voting group or in an at-large position may contact the Faculty Senate office to express their interest in being nominated.

Each committee has specific responsibilities and charges which emanate from the organization’s governing documents and from the Executive Committee (“EC”), the primary leadership body of the Senate. Chairs of these committees are chosen either by the committee members or by appointment of the EC. Guidance for committee chairs may be found in the Committee Chair Tool Kit.
