The primary university-wide faculty organizational unit is the Faculty Senate. It may address any topic that it deems appropriate but is primarily concerned with providing study, discussion, and communication on fairly broad matters of university concern. The Senate is the voice of the faculty and makes recommendations on policy matters to the President. The Faculty Senate is composed of one member elected by each academic department of the university and one professional librarian. The Constitution of the Faculty Senate is contained in East Texas A&M Procedure 12.04.99.R0.01.
