General Policies Regarding Faculty Senate:

Senators shall be elected for a term of three years from the General Faculty, excluding the Officers of Administration named in Article III. Academic department chairs, however, shall be eligible for election. Terms shall be staggered with one-third elected each year. No senator shall be eligible for re-election until one year after completion of his or her previous term. Unexpired terms due to permanent loss of a senator shall be filled by election from the unit of the senator whose term is to be filled. Serving out an unexpired term does not exclude a senator from consideration at the next election.

To be elected, a person must receive a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of the members of his or her unit which has been called for the specific purpose, and announced at least two weeks prior to the meeting. Every two years, each unit is notified by March l that the Executive Secretary's position is to be filled. Each unit may submit a nominee for Executive Secretary of the Senate. Each nominee must meet the requirements set forth for senators and must have served on the Senate during the past three years. The voting procedures and regulations used for electing senators will be used. The Senate shall elect the Executive Secretary from the slate of nominees from the four units at the first meeting of the newly elected senators.
