About
Central Faculty Governance provides the structure for shared governance at the University of Michigan. Through its three bodies, faculty are represented and contribute to a collective voice concerning institutional policies and other matters of University-wide concern.
The University of Michigan’s Central Faculty Governance system is comprised of:
SACUA
Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs (SACUA) is the executive arm of the Central Faculty Governance system and coordinates and implements the actions of the University Senate and the Senate Assembly. View more information
