College Senate Vacancy: Call for Nominations for Academic Only At-Large Seat

From the Chair of the College Senate Bylaws and Elections Committee
Following his appointment as special advisor to the interim provost and vice president for academic affairs, Senator Scott Goodman has resigned from the College Senate.

According to the Bylaws of the College Faculty, the replacement of an at-large senator is “of the kind used to elect the senator.” Since the vacancy is an “academic only” at-large senator, the Senate Bylaws and Elections Committee will hold an election to fill the remainder of his term, through May 2024.

Eligible members of the full-time faculty who are not currently serving on the Senate and who did not serve on the Senate in 2022–2023 may nominate themselves to serve the remainder of this term by sending an email expressing interest to the College Senate between 9:00 a.m. Monday, February 5, and 5:00 p.m. Friday, February 9.

Elections for this position will run from 12:01 a.m. Monday, February 12, to 11:59 p.m. Friday, February 16.

Campaigning
The College Senate Bylaws and Elections Committee strongly discourages using college email services for campaigning. Please limit campaigning to the candidate statement posted on the College Senate website (available to the university community on Monday, February 12).

For further information about this position, please email Kristen Mruk, special assistant to the provost and senate. We look forward to your participation in this vital process of campus-shared governance.
