"In a collegial system decision-making power is delegated to the collegial group most expert in or responsible for the area in which a decision is made. The faculty has primary responsibility for areas such as curriculum, subject matter and methods of instruction, research, faculty status, and those aspects of student life relating to the educational process. The final decision on these matters is by statute lodged with the Board of Regents and may be delegated by the Board to the President.  We believe that in these matters faculty advice should be welcomed and encouraged and if not accepted, the rationale communicated to the faculty.  Whenever possible, the faculty should have the opportunity to consider the matter further and to convey its view to the appropriate administrator.  In other areas which affect academic programs, such as the selection of the President and other administrators, the organization and structure of departments, institutional budget priorities, and the like, the appropriate faculty bodies should be consulted."  WKU University Charter
