Welcome to the homepage of the Academic Senate and Assembly at Arizona State University at the West campus. On this site you will find links to important resources such as the Senate calendar, the list of Senators, Senate committees, and a link to our blog site for discussion of hot topics. We have been using the Senate Website to post information about important developments on various issues. Continuing with that approach you will find on our blog site https://asenatew.blog.asu.edu, exchanges regarding the formation of a university-wide faculty governance body. Please join us in this discussion at https://asenatew.blog.asu.edu.
