The Academic Senate is the representative body of the entire faculty at USC, consisting primarily of representatives elected by
Faculty Councils at the various schools. As a voice for faculty working with the university administration, it strives to
further the academic mission and integrity of the university as a community of scholars, artists and professionals dedicated to
the pursuit of knowledge.
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.

Welcome to the Academic Senate website. You may have noticed that we’ve redesigned the site to make it more attractive,
accessible, and easier to navigate. The site will be evolving over the next few months, and we will also be endeavoring to
make it more current, with frequent postings of draft and adopted Senate documents, updated links to outside information of
interest to faculty and USC news items. We will also be expanding our archived material to provide a historical context for
our activities.
As usual, we’d like to hear from you regarding the update, especially if there are ways that we can make it more useful for
you.
We are indebted to Larry Pryor (Annenberg) and our Web consultant, Paul Gargantiel, who have worked hard to develop this site.
Connie Roque, Senate support staff, will be responsible for maintaining updates, so please contact her or me with any ideas for
improvement or current postings.
