Senators
2024–2025 Senators and Committee Assignments
Each TCU Faculty Senator is assigned to one of the Senate Standing Committees. These committees examine particular aspects of the academic affairs and mission themes of the University and normally meet at 3:30 p.m. on the Thursday following the Faculty Senate meeting. Senators may rank their preference for committee assignments. Select the committee name to find the standing charges, recent recommendations, and senators currently assigned to each.
