2026-2027 Senators

Membership of the Academic Senate consists of three elected senators from each college (Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences; Architecture and Environmental Design; Business; Engineering; Liberal Arts; and Science and Mathematics) plus one senator for every 30 faculty members (tenure-line and full-time lecturers) or major fraction thereof. Personnel in Professional Consultative Services are represented by the formula of one senator for every fifteen members or major fraction thereof.

Senators acting in an at-large capacity are the current Academic Senate Chair, the immediate Past Chair of the Academic Senate, and the four CSU statewide academic senators. Ex officio (nonvoting) members include the President of the University or designee, the Provost or designee, one representative from among the academic deans, the President and Chair for the Board of Directors of Associated Students, Inc., and the Vice President for Strategic Enrollment Management and Student Affairs.
