Munashe Furusa Senate Chair

Welcome to Academic Senate

Iwould like to thank you for placing your trust and confidence in me and electing me to serve as your Academic Senate Chair. I wish to extend my gratitude to the previous chairs and executive committees for constructing the foundation upon which the new cabinet will build. In particular, I would like to thank, Dr. Kate Fawver who nobly served as chair of the Academic Senate on short notice and worked hard to enhance Faculty and Senate participation in university affairs. This year, the Executive Committee and I will work dutifully in the Academic Senate to insure the protection of academic freedom, to safeguard faculty participation in policy formation, to ensure collegial governance, to maintain application of "joint responsibility," and continue the faculty role of defining the mission of the University.
