Two faculty members with Medical School appointments are among three new members elected to the Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs (SACUA), the executive arm of the University of Michigan’s faculty governance system.

Sami N. Malek, M.D., an associate professor of internal medicine in the Division of Hematology/Oncology, and E. Neil G. Marsh, Ph.D., a professor of biological chemistry in the Medical School, and professor of chemistry in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts, begin three-year terms on May 1.

Besides SACUA, central faculty governance consists of the Senate Assembly and the Faculty Senate. The full Senate consists of all professorial faculty, librarians, full-time research faculty, executive officers and deans. The Senate Assembly consists of 74 elected faculty members from the Ann Arbor, Dearborn and Flint campuses.
