Faculty News

The faculty of Virginia State University are committed to the principles of shared governance and recognize the interdependence of all units of the university. It is only through planning together, working together, respecting one another, and communicating openly and freely about any and all issues that our community will thrive. Clearly, some responsibilities require the action of a single entity: not only are there areas of responsibility which are designated to specific units by state regulation, accreditation guidelines, expertise, and tradition, but also, implementation is often clearly within the purview of a single department or office. Nevertheless, decisions made will be more informed, implementation will be more effective, and support more broad-based if policy is based on shared governance.
