Nominating Committee

Members

Faculty serving for the current academic year are listed below.

Functions

• To provide nominations for all vacancies on faculty committees and for all officers elected by the faculty, including but not limited to, nominations for the Social Judicial Panel, the Academic Judicial Board, Faculty Constituent Representatives to the Board of Trustees, and any ad hoc committees for which elected faculty representation is requested by the Board of Trustees, the president, or the provost.
• To present its annual slate of nominees for the following academic year no later than the next to last regular faculty meeting of an academic year.
• The committee should provide a mechanism whereby faculty members may nominate themselves for election to committees and should consider divisional representation when making its nominations for committees.
• In all elections, the committee will create an official ballot for faculty members to cast their votes. Normally, the committee will distribute an electronic ballot via an on-line voting system that will confidentially record each faculty member’s vote before results are made available to the committee chair and provost.  Alternatively, the committee may distribute through campus mail a paper ballot on which faculty members will cast their votes before returning them in a sealed envelope to the provost.
• To provide to the Nominations and Honorary Degrees Committee of the Board of Trustees the faculty’s nominee(s) for the award of an honorary degree.
