"The Faculty Assembly and, therefore, also the Faculty Senate takes within its province any subject of interest to the faculty, to hold hearings on any matter it elects to review, to appoint committees for additional study of problems brought before it, and then formulate and submit to the President recommendations on college policy and the resolution of problems. Through these means the Senate is pledged to be responsive to the needs not only of faculty members, but also to the needs of students and all members of the academic community. This Senate is created to continue through elected representatives the faculty function of serving as a legislative body for matters within its jurisdiction, chiefly matters of academic policy, professional rights and responsibilities."
