Augusta University leaders meet to workshop current and future programs
More than 40 leaders from across Augusta University met for a collaborative workshop to review the university’s program portfolio.
The Faculty Senate (AUFS) is an essential component of University shared governance. It is composed of Senators elected by each college, who represent the faculty of their college. Senators keep in touch with their constituent faculty so they can truly represent them at Senate meetings and keep them informed.
We represent faculty in shared governance as practiced at Augusta University.
The principle and practice of collaboration between administration, faculty, staff, and students in fulfilling the mission of Augusta University, based on collegiality, inclusivity, trust, accountability, and transparency (AUFS Executive Committee, July 2021).

The Executive Committee is empowered to act upon all matters except legislation in the name of the Faculty Senate and Assembly when, in its judgment, those bodies cannot readily be convened and when extraordinary events require extreme haste.
All such actions will be reported to the faculty immediately via electronic means, and in person to the Senate and the Assembly at the next possible meeting of each.
The Chair, Vice-Chair, and Past Chair will consult and work together as a team to complete business and make decisions collaboratively.
The Executive Committee will set the dates and the agenda for Faculty Senate meetings and Assembly meetings.
The Executive Committee may propose new committees to serve the purposes of the Faculty Senate as part of shared governance. These committees must be approved by the Senate. The Executive Committee may also form ad hoc committees as needed to support the activities of the Senate, which do not require Senate approval. Other committees and work groups will be reviewed and incorporated in the AU system of shared governance as deemed appropriate.
The Executive Committee will serve as a review body for faculty concerns related to the Institutional Review Board and Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee.
