*Selection of a Replacement At-Large Senator or an Additional At-Large
Senator

If an At-Large senator needs to be replaced during his or her term of
service or an additional At-Large senator needs to be added to the
University Senate, the candidate who received the second highest number of
votes in the election will be contacted to determine his or her willingness
to serve. If necessary, the candidate who received the third highest number
of votes will be contacted. This process will continue until either a
candidate in the prior election agrees to serve or all candidates in the
prior election decline to serve. If none of the candidates from the prior
election wishes to serve, a replacement election will be conducted in
compliance with the University Senate Bylaws.
