Associate Professor Arnold Maltz of the W. P. Carey School of Business' Department of Supply Chain Management will serve as the 2017–18 ASU University Senate President. The University Senate is the university body designated to represent faculty and academic professional perspectives in policymaking recommendations at Arizona State University. 

Maltz has been at ASU since 1997 and active on the University Senate since the 2013–14 academic year. During his tenure with the University Senate, Maltz has served as the chair of the Research and Creative Activities and Curriculum and Academic Programs Committees and served as the Tempe campus Senate president during the 2015–16 school year. In addition to extensive committee experience, Maltz has served his peers on the High Performance Computing Task Force and Academic Integrity Task Force. He is committed to shared governance as he represents each of ASU’s 3,400 faculty members and academic professionals. 

Maltz has high goals for the Senate for the new school year.

“We are excited about the upcoming year. I am anticipating we will take on the task of reviewing our online education programs and work towards developing recommendations to help ASU maintain our leadership position in this vital educational realm,” he said.

Maltz also pointed to ongoing work by the Personnel Committee in regards to salary and merit raises, and benefits discussions as they relate to faculty members and academic professionals at ASU.

“Each of our Senate standing committees serves a very important role in the shared governance process, and they will certainly be very busy this upcoming year,” Maltz said.
