The senate is the faculty-student legislative body with responsibility for matters of educational policy affecting this campus. The senate council is the executive committee of the senate; it guides and coordinates the work of the senate, its committees, and the senate office. One of the council's most valuable functions is to serve as a channel of communication among the administration, faculty, and students. It acts as a sounding board for proposed policies, and is able to put forward some concerns of the campus. The council values its contacts with the Board of Trustees, the president, the chancellor, and the vice chancellors for academic affairs and research and tries in all these issues to give its best advice. t Urbana-Champaign Senate Council: Donald L.
