The faculty of the University of Alaska Fairbanks are grateful to live and work on the ancestral lands of the Alaska Native nations. In Fairbanks, our Troth Yeddha' Campus is located on the ancestral lands of the Dena people of the lower Tanana River. We honor Indigenous history and their stewardship of these lands. We commit to expanding inclusion at UAF for Indigenous faculty, students, staff, and community members in teaching and research.
About us
Organized in January 1988, the Senate consists of 39-42 faculty members elected proportionally from the faculty of each college and school. In addition to monthly plenary meetings, the standing and permanent committees meet regularly to carry out the majority of the work. The president, president-elect and committee chairs constitute an Administrative Committee which sets the full Senate agenda and coordinates the various activities of the Senate.
In addition, the Faculty Senate serves as a major part of UAF's institutional memory and provides information on programs, policies, procedures, formats and responsible individuals for accomplishing the academic tasks of the institution.
