Administrative History
The State University of New York (SUNY) Board of Trustees approved the creation of the University Faculty Senate (UFS) on October 8, 1953. Article VII of the SUNY Policies of the Board of Trustees states "the Senate shall be the official agency through which the University Faculty engages in the governance of the University. The Senate shall be concerned with effective educational policies and other professional matters within the University."
The UFS membership consists of the chancellor of the University; two University representatives having University-wide responsibilities; and representatives from each State-operated unit and contract college, a total of thirty-three SUNY colleges.
The University Faculty Senate serves as a resource on governance for the University. It serves as a deliberative body on educational policies for the SUNY System. In this capacity it issues publications such as handbooks, directories, and reports on matters such as budget, program revision, and presidential searches.
The New York State Archives is part of the Office of Cultural Education, an office of the New York State Education Department.
