PREAMBLE

It is a guiding principle of the shared governance recognized by the Board of Regents of the University of Colorado that the faculty and the administration shall collaborate in major decisions affecting the academic welfare of the University. The nature of that collaboration, shared as appropriate with students and staff, varies according to the nature of the matters under consideration.

The mission of the Boulder Faculty Assembly is to represent the faculty of the Boulder campus in shaping the structure and development of the University through shared governance. The BFA initiates, advises, and recommends action to the Chancellor and administrative officials on matters related to educational policy and planning and the operations of the Boulder campus. The BFA is the voice of the Boulder faculty, providing an opportunity for faculty to participate in campus-wide shared governance activities.

These Bylaws and the Standing Rules of the Boulder Faculty Assembly, which enumerate the faculty’s rights privileges, and responsibilities, provide a system for participation of the Boulder campus faculty in the governance of the University as specified by the Laws of the Regents of the University of Colorado.
