How to get involved

If you are a full-time faculty member at UTA, you can run for election as a senator representing your department or college/school. Non-tenure track senators are elected at the College/School level and tenure-track senators are elected at the department level (or by sub-unit within Schools) and elections for open seats are held in the spring semester. If you are interested in serving as a senator, check out the frequently asked questions or email the Senate Chair.

Benefits of becoming a senator

Serving on Faculty Senate provides multiple opportunities to influence and change university policy and procedure, and to make the university a better place for you and your faculty colleagues. Because Senate is comprised of faculty from every unit on campus, it also affords a unique venue to meet and make friends with colleagues from different disciplines, to learn about their experience at UTA, and to gain a broader perspective on what it means to be a faculty member at a comprehensive university.
