The Faculty Senate at MCC is the representative body for Faculty at MCC.
The members of Faculty Senate are continually working to promote better learning conditions for our students. The Faculty Senate is the conduit between frontline faculty and College Administration. In addition to representing Residential Faculty, the Faculty Senate also represents Adjunct Faculty and Students. We have created liaison positions within Faculty Senate for those groups to forward concerns and disseminate information.
The Faculty Senate also works to improve Faculty working conditions. Were it not for the time and energy devoted to improving working conditions in the past, current faculty members might be faced with an entirely different set of circumstances when it comes to wages, benefits, and workplace conditions.
MCC Faculty Senate sends representatives to the district Faculty Executive Council. The Faculty Executive Council is the body that works on District-wide issues of concern to the faculty of Maricopa Community Colleges and is the representative council for Residential Faculty for the District. Faculty representatives from each college attend the FEC meetings twice each month to conduct the business of the membership. Currently, MCC has five representatives to the FEC. At the moment, MCC holds more seats on FEC than any other college. Those five votes can be critically important depending on the issues and the direction the MCC representatives wish to move in.
