College Senate Vacancies: Call for Nominations March 27-April 7

From the Chair of the College Senate Bylaws and Elections Committee
Two at-large College Senate positions will become vacant on August 28, 2017.  Additionally, one University Faculty senator position and one University Faculty senator alternate position will become vacant on August 28, 2017. Positions are open to both academics and professionals.

At-large senators represent the entirety of the college. The University Faculty senator is a senator within both the College Senate at Buffalo State and the SUNY University Faculty Senate. The alternate attends SUNY University Faculty Senate meetings only in the absence of the University Faculty senator. All full-time faculty and professional employees (PSC) are eligible to run for these seats provided they meet other eligibility requirements (see below).

A call for nominations and information about candidates’ statements can be found on the College Senate website. The call for nominations for all positions begins Monday, March 27, and continues through Friday, April 7, at 5:00 p.m. Elections for these positions will run from 12:10 a.m. Monday, April 17, to 11:59 p.m. Friday, April 28.

Eligibility: Current College Senate members who are completing two consecutive terms in their respective positions are not eligible for reelection. For additional information on eligibility requirements, please consult the College Senate bylaws.

Campaigning: The College Senate Bylaws and Elections Committee strongly discourages using college e-mail services for campaigning. Please limit campaigning to the candidate statement posted on the College Senate website (available to the college community Monday, April 10).

Please note: Individuals running for a senator position in another election may not also run for at-large senator or University Faculty senator positions while the other election is being conducted. If the other election concludes during the period when nominations for at-large or University Faculty senator are still being accepted, eligible individuals may self-nominate for either position.

If you are interested in being a candidate, please contact Vince Masci, assistant to the College Senate, 878-5139. We look forward to your participation in the vital process of campus governance.
