The faculty senate is made up of around 131 elected senators from across all three campuses. The role of the faculty senate is to provide a forum for faculty to discuss and deliberate proposed regulations (drafted in the senate\u2019s faculty councils) and procedures. Faculty senators are elected to represent the will of the faculty at senate meetings. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washington.edu\/faculty\/senate\/sec\/\">Senate Executive Committee<\/a> (SEC) sets Faculty Senate agendas, helps the senate conduct business per the Faculty Code, and facilitates communication between the president and the faculty. Two senate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washington.edu\/faculty\/senate\/flr\/\">faculty legislative representatives<\/a> represent the faculty at the state legislature and appear before legislative committees on our behalf.
