ATU Campus Council

ATU Campus Council

Role of the Campus Council

The ATU Campus Council shall serve as the central body for shared decision-making among the 
governance groups representing faculty, staff, & students at Arkansas Tech University (ATU). Its 
primary role is to serve as an advisory body on all matters not reserved to the sole jurisdiction of the 
Faculty Senate, Staff Senate, and Student Government Association.

Meetings & Transparency

The Campus Council values the participation of the ATU community. Our sessions are open to all faculty, staff, and students who wish to stay informed on shared governance.

Meeting Schedule

The Council convenes at least quarterly, typically during the weeks preceding each ATU Board of Trustees meeting. This timing ensures coordinated advisory input from all governance groups prior to Board sessions.

How to Attend & Participate

Meetings are held in a hybrid format, allowing for both in-person and virtual attendance. Because locations and links may vary:

  • Meeting Announcements: Please check OneTech 24–48 hours prior to a scheduled meeting for specific room locations and the Webex join link.
  • Open Gallery: All members of the campus community are welcome to observe our proceedings.
  • Community Q&A: Time permitting, each meeting will conclude with an open Q&A session for the audience to ask questions or share feedback with the Council.
