History of Ohio University
Faculty meetings at Ohio University were taken over by the Faculty Advisory Council (FAC) around 1937. In 1964, the FAC developed into the Faculty Senate (FS). As of 2010, the FS defined itself "as sanctioned by the Ohio University Board of Trustees, is an elected representative body that acts on behalf of all faculty on matters related to University planning, governance, and resource allocation. The Senate maintains primary jurisdiction over curriculum and academic policies, and is an advocate for faculty views on all other University policies and practices."
