Bylaws and Regulations of the University Faculty Senate: Section I

• Election by Senators (in Constitution)
  1. By February 1 of each year, the Secretary of the Senate shall inform the Units of the Senate of (1) the names of senators whose terms will expire during the current academic year, and (2) any changes in apportionment every other year, as stated in the Constitution. Appeals concerning the apportionment of Senate seats or the assignment of faculty to voting units for representation shall be directed to the Committee on Committees and Nominations.
  2. The dean or director of each Unit shall provide the Secretary of the Senate with a complete description of the method of election procedures established by the Unit. Any changes shall be reported to the Secretary of the Senate prior to their implementation.
  3. Results of elections shall be announced to the members of the Units.
  4. Vacancies created in the Senate for any reason whatsoever shall be filled by an election of the faculty involved. The Rules Committee is authorized to adjust the ending point of such a term in order to assure that adequate overlap of terms required in Section IV, Paragraph 3 of the Constitution is maintained for each unit. That term shall not count against him or her in subsequent elections to a regular term.
  5. The undergraduate student body shall be represented by five student senators of which the same two will be voting members. The duly constituted undergraduate student government will arrange the election of the five senators from the full-time undergraduate student body with such procedures contingent upon approval of the Senate.
