The UNLV Faculty Senate consists of unit senators from each of the academic colleges at UNLV, At-Large senators, and Administrative Unit representatives. The Faculty Senate participates in the shared governance of the university by voting on university bylaws, responding to surveys and inquires promoted by the senate, and reading the regular reports of its chair and committees. The senate advocates for competitive compensation, adequate benefits, and an inclusive and equitable work environment through numerous committees including the Academic Freedom and Ethics Committee, Campus Affairs Committee, Program Review Committee, and Tenure and Promotion Committee.
