2020 Election: Due to the resignation of a Tenured Track and a Non-Tenure Track Executive Committee member, the Executive Committee voted, upon the recommendation of the Elections Committee, that the person who replaces each member will begin their term of office immediately after the election results are published.
2020 Tenured Track Election
There are three positions up for election. One is to fill the remaining months of a resigned member. The other two positions are the standard two-year term that begins at the conclusion of Spring 2020 semester and runs to Spring 2022.
Bottom line: There are two full two-year term positions (May 2020 to May 2022) and one position to fill the remaining term (March 2020 to May 2021) that require a member to be elected to fill. When voting you will select three (3) members.
2020 Non-Tenure Track Election
There are two positions up for election. One is to fill the remaining months of a resigned member plus a full two-year term. The other position is the standard two-year term that begins at the conclusion of Spring 2020 semester and runs to Spring 2022.
Bottom Line: There is one full two-year term position (May 2020 – May 2022) and one position to fill the resigned member’s term (March 2020 – May 2020) plus serve a full two-year term (May 2020 to May 2022). When voting you will select two (2) members.
