About The Senate

The California State University features a unique system of "shared governance."  That means that decisions regarding every facet of University operations are made jointly by faculty and administration.  The CSU Dominguez Hills Academic Senate's official "voice" is over 1000 full time and part-time faculty, counselors and librarians - but it is also the place where faculty, staff, administrators, CFA representatives, students and others come together to consider the important issues we face.

The Senate meets regularly and considers any and all decisions that impact the University community.  We are a legislative body operating under Robert's Rules of Order and have a number of committees and subcommittees designed to ensure that faculty are represented and consulted regarding such vital issues as budget priorities, academic standards, curriculum and instruction, and student affairs.
