SECTION II. FACULTY RIGHTS and RESPONSIBILITIES
A. Faculty Rights
1. All faculty members have the right to:
a. Participate in faculty and university shared governance by means of a system of elected faculty representatives on committees and councils at the departmental, college, university, and Senate levels; i. Among the rights valued by the Senate is the right of any faculty member to speak on issues pertaining to their responsibilities. The Senate provides a protected environment in which faculty may engage in speech and actions (including voting) without fear of reprisal or admonition by their supervisors or administration. Faculty members who feel their rights under the Code have been violated may file a complaint as outlined in Code Section IV.G.1.d.
b. Be treated fairly and equitably and have protection against illegal and unconstitutional discrimination by the institution.
