Faculty Senate: Onward Through the Fog

OK, here's how it's supposed to work.

There's this mythical beast of burden called the Faculty Council. It consists of, for the most part, a universities full time teaching faculty. So far so good.

There is another mythical concept called Governance. It's sorta like management but different. How different? Well, first.... No that's not....OK....It's sorta like....

OK I don't know how they are different. Except most Universities are divided into two parts: the Academic side and the Administrative side. The Academic side is further divided into Faculty and Administrators. Confused yet?

Now, somehow, the Faculty Council is supposed to be part of the Shared Governance of the university. This is called Faculty Governance.
