FSU Spring 2018 Election Announcement

The Faculty Staff Union (FSU) is a member driven union that represents faculty and librarians.

The FSU governing body is the elected FSU Executive Committee which includes: President, Vice President, Librarian representative, four (4) Non Tenure Track Faculty representatives, two (2) Pre-Tenure Track Faculty representatives, and four (4) Tenured Faculty representatives. (to see current members go to  http://www.fsu.umb.edu/content/executive-committee)

The positions of President and Vice President are elected at large. The remaining eleven positions are elected (librarian, non-tenure track, pre-tenure tenure track, tenured) by their constituents only (for example, only tenured faculty vote for the tenured faculty representatives). The term of office is two years.

Each Spring semester, approximately half of the Executive Committee’s positions are up for election. The below table identifies the positions and their election year.
