Senate Assembly

The University of Michigan Senate Assembly consists of 77 elected faculty members from the Ann Arbor, Dearborn and Flint campuses, each serving a three-year term to represent the interests and concerns of faculty throughout the University of Michigan system. Elections of Senate Assembly members are held by individual schools and colleges. Senate Assembly seats are apportioned by a formula that is re-evaluated every three years. The current formula provides for the current number of seats available for each school or college. Schools and colleges manage their own elections to choose Faculty Senate members to serve on Senate Assembly.
