The standing committees of the university encompass general university committees, including academic professional and Academic Senate committees. General committees function as advisory bodies to administrative officers of the university, assisting them in carrying out their respective duties. Senate committees serve as recommending bodies whose reports are submitted to the Academic Senate, to the president, or to the Academic Assembly for further action on the matters covered by each report.

Membership on main campus standing senate committees is through recommendation of the Committee on Committees and election by the Academic Senate. Insofar as possible, all committee assignments are distributed on an equitable basis, with an effort to avoid overloading any faculty member or academic professional. It is expected that faculty members and academic professionals will participate fully in committee work to which they are assigned. All regular committees of the university are set forth each year in the annual ASU Roster of Boards, Committees and Councils.

Faculty may be assigned to college and department committees by their dean and chair.
