University Senate

It is the legislative body of the University in matters involving educational programs, requirements, and standards; faculty welfare; and student conduct. The Board of Trustees delegates to the Senate primary responsibility for curriculum, programs, and course offerings and advisory responsibility on all matters related to Miami University.
