THE ACADEMIC SENATE
The Academic Senate is the representative body of the entire faculty at USC. The Senate acts as a whole, or in committees and task forces, to address a wide range of academic and administrative issues. These include the primary concerns of advancing faculty rights, interests and responsibilities, and seeking to preserve and enrich USC as a thriving academic institution.
The members of the Academic Senate consist primarily of representatives elected by Faculty Councils at the various schools.
