Faculty Senate Caucus

About Faculty Senate Caucus

As the Texas A&M University Faculty Senate Constitution states, “A university’s foundation is its faculty. Therein lies the knowledge, the commitment to learning, and the source of constructive progress upon which universities rest. The interests of students, scholarship and society are best served when the faculty brings its special talents to bear through cooperative participation in the governance of the university.”

The Texas A&M School of Medicine Faculty Senate Caucus is a mechanism for the School of Medicine faculty, staff and students to communicate suggestions to the Texas A&M University Faculty Senate, which participates in the shared governance of Texas A&M University and reports directly to the president of Texas A&M University. No Texas A&M University officer or body shall exercise control over the senate’s recommendations.

School of Medicine senators are elected by the college’s faculty. They can be peer- or self-nominated from all campuses, as enumerated in the constitution.

If you would like to make suggestions, address concerns or submit questions, we welcome your contacting the designated senators as listed. You may also submit anonymous questions or comments through PollEverywhere. The Faculty Senate Caucus and the Faculty Advisory Committee, which also contains elected representatives, jointly run a monthly faculty meeting linked to all campuses on the first Tuesday of every month, which welcomes attendance and questions by all faculty, staff and students and, after which, a social reception follows.
