Faculty Senate

The Springfield College Faculty Senate conducts the business of the Faculty. The Senate is a representative body of the Faculty, which helps the institution, grow and thrive, and which works toward a better environment in which to do work. As the representative body of the Springfield College Faculty as a whole, the Senate makes recommendations for the College faculty on all college policies concerning faculty responsibilities, as described in the AAUP statement on faculty responsibilities, the Springfield College Faculty Personal Policy, the Faculty Personnel by-laws, the Faculty Handbook, and any other areas agreed upon by the College President, Senate President and the Senate’s Executive Committee.
