Faculty Senate University policy was determined by the Senate The whole internal government of Miami University from disciplinary matters to the formulation of the academic program is under the complete jurisdiction of the Senate. The entire faculty are members, but only those of the rank of assistant professor and above may vote. This key body meets regularly at four times during the school year. For greater efficiency the majority of the Work is done by various committees. These groups are concerned with scholastic and cur- ricular requirements, student affairs, inter- collegiate athletics, extra-curricular activities I and faculty welfare. There is also a Commit- tee On Committees to help the President de- fine the duties, choose members and generally coordinate the other groups. In the March meeting a reorganization of the committees was presented. Any change of this nature would be subject to the ap- proval of the Board of Trustees. This governing unit is the central core of the galaxy of smaller groups which together make Miami University an efficient, modern institution of higher learning.
