The Faculty Senate is empowered to act as an agent for the University faculty, with delegated power to formulate broad policies regarding the university's educational functions. The Senate plays an important role in the university's governance structure and is committed to shared governance not only as a concept but as a fundamental precept.

The Faculty Senate is charged with initiating, promoting, and enforcing policies involving academic and intellectual freedom and concerns itself with all matters of faculty status and welfare. The tenure/tenure-track seats are determined by the number of the University's FTE faculty within each voting unit, and there are six seats held by non-tenure-track faculty. All Senators serve three-year terms. The current Faculty Senate President is Dr. Yueh-Ting Lee, Psychological & Behavior Sciences, leey@siu.edu (618-453-4180 or 618-453-5244).
