The Senate is Memorial University’s highest academic governing body, charged with overseeing all matters of an academic nature. This includes approving new or revised academic programs, establishing academic regulations, and shaping the policies that guide teaching, learning, and research across the institution.
Senate is composed of elected and appointed members, including faculty, students, and senior administrators, and meets monthly during the academic year. Faculty hold the majority of seats on Senate, making it a important venue for advancing academic priorities and upholding the university’s academic mission.
By voting, running for election, and serving on Senate committees, Academic Staff Members play a vital role in guiding Memorial’s academic direction through shared governance and active participation.
