Elections


Elections to the Academic Senate give you an opportunity to participate in shared governance. As stipulated in the Constitution of the Academic Senate, Article II, tenured and probationary regular faculty who have completed at least one year’s service, and temporary faculty who have completed at least one Academic year of service at the University, are eligible to stand for election.

Elections are held at the start of the spring semester. Each college, and the General Unit are allocated seats based on FTES [pdf]. Nominating petitions, and vacancies for the elections for 2025-2026 will be posted in November 2024.
