As of June 14, 2024, the University Senate is dissolved and will be replaced by a Faculty Senate. During the transition, this site will continue to hold relevant information for the continuation of duties. The previous University Senate rules have been transitioned to Administrative Regulations. Information on Curriculog, proposals and syllabi has permanently moved to the Office of the Provost website under Curriculum Proposals.

If you have any questions regarding the transition, please email facultysenatetransition@uky.edu or Christine Harper, Acting Associate Provost for Academic Operations at christine.harper@uky.edu.
