Historical NoteReturn to Top

The University of Montana-Missoula's Faculty Senate serves to promote faculty involvement in the governance of the University. The Senate reviews, debates, and votes on issues pertaining to the academic and faculty welfare of The University of Montana (UM) in consultation and cooperation with the President and University administration. Faculty members contribute to UM governance by participating in the Senate and specific committees.

The first faculty meeting of the University was held on September 9, 1895. All five original faculty members were present. Some of the first topics of discussion were entrance examinations, the matriculation fee, and the welcoming ceremony which was to be held Wednesday, September 11, 1895. Faculty meetings were held often in the first few years to help get the University running smoothly. As the number of faculty grew, committees were formed to share the responsibilities. On October 30, 1961 this organizing body of the faculty officially became the Faculty Senate. Officials were elected and new procedures for the Senate, including the Robert’s Rules of Order, were voted on and adopted that year.

Custodial History

The bulk of the Faculty Senate records were held by that organization until transferred to Archives and Special Collections. Other material was held by Robert Sullivan, a former dean of the University of Montana School of Law.

Acquisition Information

These records were transferred to the Archives in four groups from 1973 to 2005. The bulk of the materials were transferred in 1999. Minute books from 1918-1948 were transferred to the Archives from the Office of the Registrar in 2019. Robert Sullivan donated material relating to the Faculty Senate with his papers at different stages beginning in 1970 and continuing until his death in 2009.

Future Additions

Periodic accruals are expected from the Office of the Faculty Senate.

Processing Note

This collection was initially organized by Camie Foos, the administrative associate of the Faculty Senate, in 2004 and 2005. Further archival organization was completed in 2005 by Robin Bick. In 2011, Steven Bingo altered the series and folder level organization of the collection to better reflect the structure and functions of the Faculty Senate. In addition, published works such as course catalogs were removed from the records group. Files duplicated by university personnel files, search committee files, case files for grievances by or about faculty, and files for the awarding of honorary degrees were also removed from the records group. Lists from the registrar of degree candidates containing student grades were also removed. Minutes, agendas, and memos relating to the Executive Committee, Academic Standards and Curriculum Review Committee, and other ad hoc Faculty Senate committees were discovered when the Archives processed the Robert E. Sullivan Papers in 2022. After discovering these materials filed gaps in the exisiting Faculty Senate Records collection (RG 021), the decision was made to incorporte them in to RG 021.

ECOS also serves in an executive capacity over the Senate. Specifically, the committee outlines major issues that the Senate will address for the upcoming academic year and approves the agenda for each meeting of the Senate. ECOS also has the power to appoint ad hoc committees to investigate problems of concern to the faculty. This series includes minutes, correspondence, and subject files for the Committee. The series also contains files Budget and Policy Committee, which was the executive committee of the Faculty Senate prior to the formation of the ECOS.

This series largely consists of correspondence, minutes, and reports from committees that do not report directly to the Faculty Senate but are partially comprised of University faculty. This series also includes committees whose direct report moved away from the Faculty Senate, such as the University Athletic Committee, which was once the Faculty Athletic Committee. This committee was formed in the wake of a football recruiting investigation in 1972. One committee of broad strategic interest to the University is the Faculty Council of the Montana University System. This series is organized in alphabetical order according to name of committee.
