Councils

The president, provost, and other administrative officers of KSU engage the major constituencies of the university community through a prescribed structure and process of shared governance for the institution's operations. That structure includes a University Council, four Senates, and a number of university standing committees. The faculty senate, staff senate, administrators' senate, and student government senate review and respond to important issues and conditions affecting them through their elected Senators. Each Senate's president and vice president serve on the University Council with four of KSU's academic and administrative officers to coordinate and facilitate the entire governance process.

The primary functions of the KSU Faculty Senate are to facilitate faculty participation in the establishment of university policies for the benefit and welfare of the institution, to inquire into any matters that have implications for the academic development and functioning of KSU and to make recommendations concerning such matters, and to be a channel of communications between and among the KSU faculty and the KSU President, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, and the other senate bodies.
