the proposal
We propose a new system of faculty governance at Marymount - a combination of a Faculty Senate and a Faculty Assembly - to strengthen the voice of the faculty in university governance.
A senate made up of about two dozen members would be able to organize more quickly and effectively to make decisions on behalf of the faculty, with members selected in a way that would represent the diverse interests and views of the faculty across academic units and ranks.
A regular assembly of all faculty, meeting when necessary but at least once per semester, would ensure that everyone would be in the room to vote on critical issues and to hear important reports.
