The Faculty Senate is the recognized voice of the faculty at Salisbury University, representing faculty through the process of shared governance. The Senate seeks ways to improve communication and collaborative decision making between all levels of the University. In addition, the Senate acts as an advisory and consultative body to the President on all matters that may affect the attainment of the University's educational objectives and goals.
Adjunct Faculty Caucus serves to communicate answers to frequently asked questions posed by adjunct faculty members.
Salisbury University Staff Senate (SUSS). The SUSS makes recommendations directly to the President on issues related to the administration of the University and on the functional support aspects of academic matters. Its responsibility is to consider and make recommendations on university issues affecting non-faculty employees, to communicate employee concerns to the President, and to inform non-faculty employees of the university's related actions.
