Purpose

The committee has the responsibility for coordinating and conducting all elections in the
college. It shall report election results to the dean and all nominees.

The Elections Committee should refer to each committee's protocol to determine
eligibility to serve on the committee. If the committee does not have a protocol, the
Elections Committee will not conduct the election.

In cases where the faculty members make nominations for committees, the faculty
member making the nomination has the responsibility for obtaining that person's consent
to serve on the committee if elected before the person's name is submitted for
nomination.

In all other cases the committee shall contact all nominees and obtain their consent before
their names are placed on the ballot.

Membership

Terms will be for three years. The terms shall be staggered so as to ensure continuity.

Members may seek reelection.

All full-time faculty are eligible to serve on the committee. The committee shall solicit
nominations from the faculty to ensure broad based membership. The committee is
composed of four members.
