We did not receive as many petitions as we had seats for Faculty Senator-at-Large Representatives. We still have 4 seat available. In accordance with Article VIII of the Bylaws which reads: “If vacancies occur because there were not enough candidates from a given constituency in an election, the Chair of the Faculty and the Vice Chair shall seek appropriate faculty members from that constituency who are willing to serve, and present these candidates to the Senate Executive Committee for approval, to fill those vacancies.”

We respectfully thank our colleagues for their interest and participation. Thank you again for your involvement in shared governance.
