University Senate is the primary University governance body where students, faculty, staff, and administrators discuss and debate University issues and policies and provide advice, feedback and recommendations on actions to be taken by the institution. To the extent permitted by law, it is the legislative body of the University in matters involving educational programs, requirements, and standards; employee welfare; and student conduct. The Board of Trustees delegates to the Senate responsibility for providing advice, feedback, and recommendations on curriculum, academic and degree programs, course offerings, and general education requirements, as well as advisory responsibility on matters not otherwise specifically maintained by the Trustees, either by action by the Board or by law, related to Miami University.
