The Senate is an all-university governance body whose membership includes administrative officers, students and faculty members elected for two year terms to represent their academic units. The Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost is its presiding officer. It serves as a legislative forum that meets monthly during the academic year. The Senate recommends new degree programs to the president and the board and must approve the constitutions of colleges and schools. It determines academic policies and provides opportunity for public deliberation on issues of importance to the university.  Contact the OU Senate via email at provost@oakland.edu.

Virtual Attendance by ZOOM link registration  (see notes directly below regarding ZOOM)

Zoom updated the registration confirmation page for meetings and webinars to improve the security of registration links. When an attendee registers for an event, the join link will no longer be displayed on the confirmation page in their web browser.

Attendees will find the join link in the email confirmation sent to them as usual. This change will help prevent attackers from obtaining a registration link using an email address they do not control personally and limit unwanted guests from joining meetings or webinars.

Registrants will no longer see join information (link, meeting password, etc.) on the registration confirmation page, and will be asked to refer to the confirmation email for details.
