Reports To Board of Trustees

The governing body of Western Washington University is the Board of Trustees (BoT). The President of the University is the representative and spokesperson for the Board of Trustees. The faculty, through the Faculty Senate, works closely with the President, the Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs, and other senior administrators in formulating, implementing, and evaluating university policies.  

In keeping with the principles of shared governance, the Faculty Senate President represents the Faculty Senate before the Board of Trustees, attending its public meetings, providing written and oral reports to the BoT, and communicating faculty perspectives on issues under consideration by the Trustees.
