Overview
The University of Michigan Senate Assembly consists of 73 elected faculty members from the Ann Arbor, Dearborn and Flint campuses, each serving a three-year term. The Senate Assembly meets monthly during the academic year and is charged by Section 4 of the Regents' Bylaws to represent the interests and concerns of faculty throughout the University of Michigan system.

Apportionment of Senate Assembly Members
The Senate Assembly consists of seventy-two Senate Assembly members apportioned among the various schools and colleges according to the number of Senate members in each school or college, and one member from the Division of Kinesiology [RB 4.03; Rules II, Sec. 2(1)]

The number of Senate members in any school or college, as determined by a headcount, would include full time University Senate members, those with a fractional appointment in only that unit, and those with fractional appointments in two or more schools or colleges and those with no larger fractional appointment in any other unit shall choose one of the units for voting in an election and shall be counted with that unit for the purpose of determining representation.
