Rensselaer’s Faculty Senate was reconstituted in March of 2012, following a period of temporary suspension. The new Senate will strive to represent and convey the views of the faculty, and to administer aspects of our institution’s academic operations that have been delegated to the Senate. We are a 19-member body comprised of 14 members of the tenure (tenured and tenure track) faculty, four members of the non-tenure faculty, and our Provost (ex officio).
