Chairs of faculty senates typically spend their time representing and involving faculty in shared governance. To continue this mission, Dr. Martha Horst, professor at Illinois State University, joined 21 other governance leaders in Houston to discuss national shared governance issues at the meeting of the National Council of Faculty Senates.
Held at the University of Houston, this was the first face-to-face meeting of the National Council of Faculty Senates in three years.
Horst, the long-serving treasurer of the council, stepped down for Professor Wynne Chin of the University of Houston. University of the District of Columbia Professor Arlene King-Berry was elected vice president.
Horst joined leaders from the Faculty Senate of Virginia, Ferris State University, Illinois State University, Mary Washington University, Nicholls State University, Northwestern State University, Sam Houston State University, Southeastern Oklahoma State University, Stockton University, SUNY Faculty Senate, SUNY Oswego, Texas A&M University, Texas A&M University at Kingsville, University of Arkansas at Little Rock, University of the District of Columbia, University of Houston, University of North Texas at Dallas, University of Texas at Arlington, University of Texas at Austin, University of Texas at Dallas, University of Wisconsin Green Bay, and Virginia Tech.
