The Faculty Assembly (FA) is the official voice of the University of Colorado Denver Faculty in shared, cooperative governance on our campus, at our University and at the CU-system level.
FA and its committees are elected by their constituencies in all the schools and colleges on campus to represent the interests of the faculty and to work hand in hand with administration of the campus in areas ranging from budget, to academic planning, to academic personnel issues, to enriching all aspects of our campus climate and its stature as an urban university. Whether you are a member of FA or not, please become familiar with the UCD Faculty Constitution and Bylaws. They provide guidance for formal faculty governance and norms for academic governance generally. As full participants in critical decisions about change and continuity in the campus's future, faculty have the obligation to be knowledgeable about their rights and responsibilities.
FA has 5 standing committees and 4 subcommittees that tackle a range of issues that are essential to the continued growth of the institution and to the quality of the faculty experience on this campus. Links for these committees are provided above; please check out their websites for membership and specific information about these important groups.
Current news and issues facing FA and its committees, important news and events for faculty, and request for faculty participation in and input to decisions being made on the campus can be found among the links on this page. We hope that you will use this site regularly to stay informed about faculty governance and issues affecting our faculty!!
Faculty participation in shared governance is critical to the well being of our academic community. Please contact me directly to learn more about opportunities in FA and other faculty governance structures in the schools and colleges. Please note that our monthly meetings are open to all, so I hope to see you at an FA meeting in the near future!
