Abstract

The Governance Consortium (previously known as the Salisbury University Forum and College Forum) facilitates and coordinates communication among the faculty, staff, and students of Salisbury University for the purpose of ensuring timely information sharing and shared decision making among the representative bodies when issues affect the broad campus community and collective interest. The constituent organizations of the Governance Consortium include the Faculty Senate (formerly Faculty Conference), the Staff Senate, the Student Government Association, University Committees and the Consortium Coordinating Committee. The records consist of correspondence, agendas, reports, minutes, bylaws, election results, membership lists, budgets, committee materials, and supporting materials that document the activities of the Governance Consortium and, previously, College/University Forum. However, the majority of the documents pertain to the Faculty Senate and its predecessor, Faculty Conference.
