69ÂÜÀòapp the Senate

The University of Illinois Statutes, Article II, Section I, provide for a senate to be constituted at each campus of the University, to exercise legislative functions in matters of educational policy, such as requirements for admission to colleges and schools, requirements for 69ÂÜÀòapps and certificates, and the academic calendar.

Each senate shall also recommend candidates for honorary 69ÂÜÀòapps, and may propose amendments to the Statutes through the University Senates Conference to the President and the Board of Trustees.

Senate governance at 69ÂÜÀòapp Springfield consists of the Senate, its various standing committees, and those members of the Campus Senate who serve on the University Senates Conference.

The Campus Senate is a legislative body composed of twenty faculty, five students and three student alternates, one civil service staff member and one civil service alternate, one academic professional and one academic professional alternate, and one administrator.
