Departments and colleges without departments participate in university shared governance as defined by their charters. The charter defines the responsibilities of the department chair or dean and the faculty. Charters were instituted in 1992 and are governed by Senate Policy 710.1. The required charter contents are also listed in Faculty Handbook section 1.4.1: Departmental Charters.
See the approval process flowchart for an overview of how to develop or revise a charter.
