Staff Nomination and Election Process

Currently there are no vacant staff seats on Senate or the Board of Governors. 

Nomination and Election Process
The Board of Governors "Faculty and Staff Electoral Procedures [1]" and the Senate "Regulations Governing the Election of Faculty, Librarians and Staff to Senate [2]" include provisions for representation of staff on the Board and Senate. Should an insufficient number of nominations be received during the Winter election period to fill the available staff seats, a by-election is held at the beginning of the following Fall semester.
