Congratulations Senator

The University Senate Office has confirmed the election of Dr. Alper Yilmaz to a three-year term as a senator representing the College of Engineering. The term will run from Fall Semester, 2013 through Spring Semester of 2016.

The University Senate was created by action of the Board of Trustees on July 7, 1972. The Senate is a body of one-hundred-thirty-seven members representing three constituencies: 70 faculty, 26 administrators, and 41 students.

Regular meetings of the Senate are scheduled at least seven times during the academic year. The University Senate, subject to the authority of the Board of Trustees, has been delegated the legislative authority of the University Faculty over educational and academic policy (Referendum vote of the University Faculty, May 11, 1973). From this action, and Rule 3335-5-41 of the Administrative Code, the Senate derives its principal powers on academic and educational matters.

Congratulations on your election and best wishes for a productive and satisfying term.
