A quick summary from the above link:
The Berkeley Academic Senate provides the organizational framework that enables the faculty to exercise its right to participate in the University’s governance. The Berkeley Division formulates positions on campus and systemwide issues through a deliberative process that includes standing committees, Divisional Council, and plenary meetings of its Senate membership. This year, 14 of the Academic Senate committees are calling for 1-2 undergraduate representatives, responsible for representing the undergraduate voice on the issues discussed by the committee they serve on. Any UC Berkeley student is eligible to serve on a committee.
