Charge: Although not a formal representative body, the University Governance Council (the Council) plays an important role in governance at the University of Scranton. The Council serves as a coordinating structure to receive and distribute policy proposals to each of the three representative bodies. The group also provides a forum to ensure the three governing bodies - Faculty Senate, Staff Senate, and Student Senate - have ample opportunity to discuss policy initiatives with one another and forward comments and/or recommendations to the Administrators' Conference, the chief policy and decision‐making body of the University. The Council is also the primary conduit for policy initiatives coming from the Administrators' Conference to the governing bodies**.

The University Governance Council is comprised of representatives from each of the three representative governing bodies. These representatives are the four officers of the bodies or their designates; total membership on the Council shall not exceed 12 persons. In addition to this number, the Council has an administrative liaison to the Administrators' Conference, the Vice President for Planning & CIO. The liaison is charged with carrying the Council's written feedback on policy deliberations to the Administrators' Conference, and conveying information from the Conference to the Council. The liaison serves as the convener of the Council, calling meetings according to the Council's schedule. The President of the University also participates in the meetings of the Council.
