Guiding Policies, Shaping Campus Life

At SFSU, the Academic Senate plays a central role in shaping the University’s direction. This elected group of faculty and staff helps set policies on everything from curriculum and academic standards to faculty appointments, campus development, research and student success. The Senate’s work ensures that decisions reflect the needs and values of the entire campus community.
