Subject: FYI: Apportionment and Corps of Instruction List

University Senators,

As I mentioned at the Sep 24, 2007 University Senate meeting, the Executive Committee has the responsibility
to apportion 34 of the 36 elected faculty positions to the academic schools and the library.  This apportionment
is performed using the Huntington-Hill Apportionment Procedure (the procedure in use by the United States
Congress since 1941) and is informed by the Corps of Instruction List supplied by the Office of Academic Affairs.
The remaining two elected faculty positions are at-large. 

In short (link to details accessible below),  the apportionment of elected faculty positions did not change from the
apportionment last year (2006-2007).

Below is a summary of the faculty counts and the number of the 34 elected faculty positions apportioned to each
academic unit (school and the library). The numbers in parentheses are the corresponding values for 2006-2007.

SoB              Number of Faculty   46   (47)         Number of 34 elected faculty positions apportioned  5    (5)
