Article 3 - Governance

The role of members of the bargaining unit and other non-unit core faculty members in the important area of faculty governance are considered and addressed by the core faculty as a whole, subject to the final approval of the Board of Trustees, and exist outside the parameters of this Agreement. Such matters include the involvement of core faculty in traditional areas of faculty purview, the determination of membership and voting rights on the Faculty Assembly and its committees, and other matters pertaining to faculty participation in the governance of the University. This Agreement does not create, confirm, or abrogate any rights or privileges under the various governance documents of the University, which may be amended by the University from time to time.
