University Senate Election Procedures

for

The John H. Lounsbury College of Education for 2009

The faculty has discussed and decided that CoE Senators will be chosen to ensure that each department nominates one Senator to represent the department while the remaining Senator(s) is (are) elected by CoE at-large.  As vacancies come the nominations will be solicited from the department (if the slot is departmental) or from the Committee on Committees (if the slot is an at-large position).

Nominations will be presented to the faculty at the January SoE meeting. Nominations from the floor will also be accepted, as long as they conform to the departmental or at-large requirements. 

Voting by Corps of Instruction faculty through secret ballot will be conducted by the Committee on Committees if there are multiple nominations for the same slot or if two at-large slots are vacant and there are more than two nominees. If there is a single nomination for a slot, vote by acclamation will be allowed.
