Shared Governance
Shared Governance
The chancellor meets with shared governance leaders three times a semester. The chancellor and Cabinet rely on these elected shared governance leaders to represent the perspectives of the faculty, students, graduate students and staff at the university on strategic matters, university policies and topics of concern to the entire campus. The shared governance leaders also identify key discussion topics that have or will have an impact on the entire campus.
