| Volume: | 1.75 cubic ft. |

| Summary: |
This series documents the operations of the standing and ad-hoc committees of the Faculty Senate. The collection includes agendas and minutes, appointment lists, correspondence, and reports. Financial Affairs includes material from both the original ad-hoc committee and the later standing committee. Ad-hoc committees are organized alphabetically by name of committee. These committees reviewed issues related to all aspects of university life from academic programs and the university calendar to parking. Of the 78 ad-hoc committees represented in the collection, nearly 30 relate to faculty working conditions - grievance, tenure, and sabbatical polices; appointments; benefits; and faculty participation in university governance. Selection Committees were formed to name department chairs, deans, the Provost, and the University President, and these files are organized alphabetically by the title of the position being filled. The Faculty Senate Vice-Chairman has the responsibility of naming members to non-Senate committees (e.g., Orientation, Founder's Day, Northeastern University Editorial Board) and materials related to this function have been included in Non-Senate Committees. |
