Recommendation for Compilation of Lists of Eligible Faculty for Faculty Senate Elections

From the Elections Committee

Presented May 5, 2000;  Passed June 16, 2000

Whereas it is in the best interest of each division for which candidates are being elected to ensure that an accurate list of faculty eligible for candidacy and election is made available to the Faculty Senate Elections Committee, and

Whereas it is essential that each division be involved in the process of identifying which of its faculty are members of the "Corps of Instruction",

Be it hereby resolved that Faculty Senate representatives from each division shall be responsible for providing to the Elections Committee a list of faculty from their division that are eligible for candidacy or voting.  It is recommended that one individual from each division be designated to provide such a list and that that individual confer with the Dean's or Director's office, or the equivalent, of their division in developing an accurate and up-to-date list.  The list of eligible faculty should be provided in electronic format to the Chair of the Elections Committee no later than 1 February of the election year.  The Elections Committee shall then be responsible for preparing a draft ballot for each division having an election and distributing the draft ballot for review and approval by a selection of Faculty Senate representatives from the corresponding division prior to the election.
