The administration and the Faculty Senate of the University of Vermont share responsibility for the effective management of the academic affairs of the University.  

Authority in matters related to the academic mission of the University is vested in the faculty by the Board of Trustees.  This authority is exercised in the Faculty Senate by elected senators with voting privileges and by committees authorized to act on their behalf.  Meetings of the Faculty Senate are presided over by a Senate President and Vice-President and follow a town-meeting format at which all University faculty members have a voice.
