Faculty Senate
Faculty participation in shared governance is very important to the smooth operation of Texas A&M University, the Faculty Senate is the principal spokesman for the faculty. All Texas A&M colleges and branch campuses are represented through caucuses in the senate.
The Qatar caucus was established last year as the most recent addition to the faculty senate. This caucus, consisting of 2 senators, will serve as a link between the Qatar campus and the other colleges represented, and TAMUQ senators will make sure that their faculty's concerns and input contribute to the shared governance of Texas A&M University.
Dr. Khalid Qaraqe and Dr. Douglas Thornton are the TAMUQ senators for Academic Year 2007-2008.

Faculty Advisory Committee
The Texas A&M University at Qatar (TAMUQ) Faculty Advisory Committee (FAC) consists of elected individuals that represent the Faculty from each academic division. The FAC is committed to the continued improvement of the teaching and research environment for undergraduate and, ultimately, graduate students at Texas A&M University at Qatar. Specifically, the FAC and the Faculty it represents continue to develop a team relationship with the administration to provide an effective and efficient university organization, thereby achieving TAMUQ's goal of providing world-class engineering education to the students attending this campus. The FAC meets monthly, or as needed to address specific issues related to teaching and research in the undergraduate environment. Appropriate recommendations are discussed with and implemented through the appropriate university organizations or administrative offices.
