SUNY University Faculty Senate Standing Committees

[Sandra Rezac]

To all faculty and professional staff:

Please consider volunteering to serve on one of the SUNY University Faculty
Senate Standing Committees listed below for the 2025-26 academic year.  You
do not need to be involved in our local faculty senate to serve on these
committees.  Committee members are expected to attend one in-person meeting
in Saratoga Springs on September 18-19, 2025, but the rest of the work is
typically done virtually. The cost of attending the meeting is paid by SUNY.

*Note that these are SUNY-wide committees.  If you're interested in
volunteering for a local Faculty Senate Committee, see Bridget Haina's
recent emails.*

SUNY UFS Standing Committees:
-Communications Committee
-Equity, Inclusion and Diversity Committee
-Ethics Committee
-Governance Committee
-Graduate Academic Programs and Research Committee
-Operations Committee
-Programs and Awards Committee
-Student Life Committee
-Undergraduate Academic Programs and Policies Committee

You can find the committee charges here:

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about the committees
or about the SUNY University Faculty Senate. Keep reading below for
instructions and for the link to volunteer.

>From Jennifer Redinger, SUNY University Faculty Senate Program Manager:

Good Afternoon All –

The annual standing committee form is now open and will remain open until JUNE
9th at 5pm. Please send this email far and wide within SUNY.  We are
looking for people to serve on all of our UFS committees.  Below are some
important details to remember when applying for a committee. Please read
this email in its entirety before applying.



   1. Anyone within SUNY may apply for a committee.  If you are already on
   a committee and wish to stay on that committee – YOU STILL NEED TO APPLY.
   Committee terms are one year, renewable for up to three years.  After you
   have served for three years on a committee you must cycle off
   that committee.  YOU MAY APPLY FOR A NEW COMMITTEE, and we hope that you do!



   2. If you are looking to switch committees, you will fill out
   the form for new committee selections.  You MUST provide an abridged (2
   page) CV if you are moving committees or if you are a new
applicant.  Applications
   for a new committee without a PDF 2-page CV will be discarded.



   3. The closing date and time is June 9th at 5pm.  If you miss this
   deadline, you have missed the deadline.  I will not be opening
   the form again.  There is a lot of work that needs to go into organizing
   the 100+ applications that we get each year, so I need the time to do this
   work before the EC meets in mid-June.



   4. The executive committee will meet and review ALL valid applications
   to select their committee for the upcoming year.  Again, your application
   will be discarded if the CV instructions are not followed.  I will notify
   EVERY APPLICANT with the EC’s decision on July 1st via email.



   5. To register, you will:
      1. Click on this link

      form.  If you complete the form in one visit and hit the "I am ready to

      2. If you started the form and need more time to finish it, you will
      hit the "Please save this, I will return later" button.  You will be
      prompted to enter your email and create a password to create a
new log in.
      If you already have a log in from a previous year FORGET THAT ONE.  You
      need to create a new log in each year. The password must be at least 8
      letters/numbers and at least one special character. REMEMBER THIS LOG
      IN!!!  You will be able to go back to change your selections, add a
      cv, and edit your application etc. Until it closes on June 9th at 5pm.
