FACULTY SENATE OF VIRGINIA
The Faculty Senate of Virginia (FSV) has been in existence since 1970. The purposes of the senate are: to achieve a representative voice for college faculties in the Commonwealth and to participate in the formation of academic and educational policies; to serve as a forum for the exchange of ideas and to encourage enrichment of education; to contribute to the intellectual and cultural advancement of the Commonwealth and to act in an advisory and resource capacity in matters of higher education. George Mason University became one of the 34 institutions of the FSV in April 1974. For more information consult the Faculty Senate at George Mason University.

GUNSTON HALL
Gunston Hall is the estate of George Mason, the man whose name the University bears. It is located in southern Fairfax County, approximately 18 miles from the University. The estate is owned by the Commonwealth of Virginia and administered by the National Society of Colonial Dames. In addition to the historic furnishings and Mason family mementos on display, the Gunston Hall complex includes a hall that may be used for meetings, dinners, and other affairs at the request of bona fide organizations.

Gunston Hall has been the scene of University choral performances, a major meeting of the Northern Virginia Association of Historians sponsored by the History Department, significant departmental functions for the Education and Public and International Affairs Departments, and other activities.

A special library at Gunston Hall centers on manuscripts and published material relating to George Mason, the Mason family and 18th century history. Library access is by appointment. Gunston Hall welcomes the use of its facilities by University scholars and other members of the University community.

HUMAN RESOURCES AND PAYROLL

KEY CONTROL/ACCESS
To assure effective control of University buildings and to afford protection for people and property within those buildings, a key control system and access policy has been established. The University Police Department is responsible for implementation based on the following guidelines:

• Faculty members are issued keys or keycards to State-owned facilities with authorization from their department chair. Upon written request, faculty members generally receive keys or keycards to their offices, to their special research areas and/or to other departmentally assigned space.
• The issue of exterior keys or keycards will be made to individuals only upon the recommendation of the appropriate dean or vice president.
• Keys or keycards may be picked up only by the assigned faculty member. All keys or keycards must be returned to the University Police Department when employment terminates or space assignments change. Failure to return State-property, keys or keycards is a violation of Commonwealth law. Department chairs are responsible for monitoring the return of departmental keys and keycards.
• Faculty members are solely responsible for providing their students access to their departmental facilities during non-class or non-business hours. Off-hours access is accomplished via issued key or keycard, or on-duty staff person.

Questions concerning issuance, use or problems with keys/access should be directed to the University Police Department.
