TSC is the college of choice for academic and career programs providing innovative teaching and learning experiences that facilitate student success and completion. The faculty of TSC play a vital role in the success of the College. Guided by the principles of participatory democracy, the aim of the TSC Faculty Senate is to represent and engage the voice of the faculty in academic matters as part of the shared governance of the College.
In particular, the purpose of the Faculty Senate is to:
- promote communication between the faculty and other groups on campus,
- provide a collaborative forum for discussing and making recommendations on academic matters, such as instruction, curriculum, academic programs and policies, faculty professional development and advising, as well as student success inside and outside of the classroom,
- maintain high academic standards, promoting excellence in teaching, learning, curriculum, advising, and service,
- serve as an advisory body within the organizational structure of the College to further the mission of Tallahassee State College.
The Faculty Senate Chair and Chair-elect serve as the officers of the Senate, representing the voice of the faculty in academic matters. The input from the faculty is collected through formal and informal channels, including regularly held Senate meetings and thorough division representation on the Faculty Senate steering committee.
