Faculty Senate Enabling Resolutions:
Since it's inception, the Faculty Senate of the University of Wyoming has helped shape the direction of the University. The Senate has helped shape policy, represented the faculty of the institution and had a direct impact on the lives of students. Through its committee's in particular. While almost sixty years of history does tend to get muddled a bit, where possible we maintain an archive of the records and proceedings of the Senate, it's minutes and agendas as well as its deliberations. Records are of house sent to the American Heritage Center for digitization and archival for more long term solutions and such records can be found there.
