Senate
Welcome to CUNY York College's Senate Website
The York College Senate serves as the central forum for shared governance, bringing together faculty, students, and staff to shape policies, guide academic programs, and advance the mission of the College. Through open dialogue and collaboration, the Senate ensures that the voices of our community are heard and reflected in decision-making. We invite all members of the York community to engage with the Senate’s work and contribute to the continued growth and success of the College.
