Faculty Chair & Cabinet

UC Faculty,

I am excited and humbled by your support as I embark on this new opportunity as Chair of University Faculty and Faculty Senate. 

In this position I will have the honor of representing the faculty by sharing our thoughts, ideas, and concerns to all levels of administration. This two-way communication is imperative to upholding a thoughtful, inclusive, creative, forward-thinking institution of higher education. This shared opportunity benefits our student population, our support staff, and most importantly our esteemed faculty.

As a faculty, we need to uphold our responsibility to the university by electing representatives to Faculty Senate, respective Senate and University Committees, and all university positions as requested. Your responsibility as a faculty member is to be active and participate in shared governance by keeping abreast of academic and social issues, through the selection of capable faculty that will represent your colleagues, department, and college, and by participating in university forums. 

My responsibility to you is to keep you informed as we liaise with administration. Look for regular communication from Faculty Senate regarding the events we are charged to address, opportunities to serve and be engaged, and through current issues as the arise. Please reach out to me via phone, email, or the new communication box located on the Faculty Senate website on Bearcat Landing. 

With much appreciation,

Daniel L. Carl, Ph.D., FACSM
