Faculty Senate Voting


Congratulations to our new Faculty Senate Officers—Terri Tugel, President; Sue Cable, Vice President; and Holly Wheeler, Secretary—who received overwhelming support in last week’s election.

Last week the Executive Committee realized the vote for by-law revisions was not conducted as prescribed. According to the Faculty Senate By-laws, “…by-laws may be amended by a two-thirds vote in the affirmative by those mail ballots returned….” As you know, the By-laws vote was not conducted by mail ballots. After considerable discussion, the Executive Committee has concluded that it is necessary to re-do the vote for the by-law revisions following the prescribed process. The Executive Committee apologizes for not catching the problem earlier, but because the recommended changes to the By-laws are substantive, we feel it is important to conduct the election as established in the By-laws.

Later this week, all voting members of the Faculty Senate will be receiving a letter explaining the problem and a ballot for voting.
