The Faculty Senate appoints representatives on select university-wide committees, for the purpose of representing the interests and concerns of faculty and the Faculty Senate and to stay abreast of the activities and decisions being made. A Faculty Senate member or a faculty member is appointed by the Faculty Senate on the following University Committees (see table below, includes email links for contacting Faculty/Senate Representatives). At the discretion of the Chair of the Faculty Senate, he/she may opt to delegate the selection of a faculty-representative, to the chair of the committee.

These University committees were selected for Faculty Senate representation based on the following criteria:

• Committee has an enterprise-wide mission;
• Supports and aligns with UAB’s strategic plan;
• Decisions affect the faculty experience university-wide; and
• Is either advisory or has decision-making authority.

The Faculty Senate also requests faculty representation for other selected university committees that do not meet the criteria above; please contact the Faculty Senate Office at (205) 934-6619 to request a list of these additional university committees. Please note that information regarding university committees and Faculty Senate Representatives is in continuous flux. The Provost Office manages a listing of all university-wide committees; this list is available at https://www.uab.edu/provost/committees.

Reports

The representatives on these committees report to the Senate. Important report information is recorded in the monthly Faculty Senate meeting minutes. Additionally, a monthly compilation of reports can be found on the Faculty Senate’s SharePoint Documents page; select the "Reports" tab.
