PROPOSAL TO RESTORE FACULTY CONGRESS AND SENATE BYLAWS - SENATE TURNOVER

ARTICLE VI. ELECTIONS, APPOINTMENTS, AND TERMS
Section 2. Elections.
b. Election of Senators.
(2) Approximately one-half of the senators are to be elected each year.
(page 13 of 17)

Two-thirds of senators' terms will end in 2011. In order to meet the "one-half" requirement, we propose that a quarter of them extend for an additional year.

To be eligible, a senator must be from a constituency with lopsided turnover:

College of Arts and Humanities
College of Social Sciences
College of Education
College of Engineering
College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources
Library Services
Organized Research Units
School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology

If necessary, attendance will determine selection.
