The University of South Alabama Faculty Senate serves as a forum for discussion of issues vital to the academic mission of the University. It is also a direct link between the faculty and upper administration. This Web site is devoted to fostering communication and providing transparency about the operations of the Senate and the University.

Chair David Turnipseed's
Goals for the Year
  

I have three significant goals for the 2009 – 2010 academic year:

1. Increase the positive visibility and involvement of the faculty in all relevant aspects of the university.
2. Increase the degree of faculty governance and “self-direction” of the USA faculty.
3. Review and improve the Senate structure, by-laws, and processes.
