When:  Wednesday, March 4^th

Time: 3:00 – 4:00PM

Location: M-1-209

Forum Format

a. Introduction:  The order of candidate introductions will be a drawing of election constituencies.  There will be five pieces of paper in a bag from which we will draw.  Within each constituency, the order will be chosen alphabetically.   There are five (5) constituencies: President, Librarian, Tenured, Pre –Tenure, and Non-Tenured.

b. Questions: Those in attendance can ask questions of the candidates.  In addition, the Elections Committee will be accepting questions from February 27^th to March 2^nd

A member may submit a question using one of the following methods.  1) Send an email to FSU.Elections@umb.edu using the subject line ‘Forum Question’. 2) Send via interoffice mail or deliver your question addressed to either Joseph Brown or Caroline Coscia, Political Science Dept. Office, Wheatley, 5^th floor.

The Elections Committee reserves the right to not allow a question that is personal in nature or not within the framework of the position’s responsibilities. 

c. Closing statement: Using the same order as Introductions, each candidate will have one (1) minute for a closing statement. 

For those unable to attend, we will be video recording the forum which will then be posted to the FSU Facebook page.  

Reminder -The Elections Committee reminds you of the following:

1. Removal of any candidate’s flyer/poster is prohibited.

2. Respecting each candidate is of the utmost importance in a democratic society.

Voting will take place beginning Friday, March 6^th at 9:00AM EST and conclude on Friday, March 13^th at 9:00AM EDT.   You will receive a ballot in your email from Electionbuddy.  We will send a detailed email prior to voting.
