ELECTIONS
The 2025 Faculty Election will be held from April 2-15.
Each spring, the Office of Faculty Governance conducts an election for faculty to select their representatives on the Faculty Council as well as to vote for members to serve on a variety of elected faculty committees. In this election, the faculty will vote for a Chair of the Faculty-Elect for the first time. The winner will serve as Chair-Elect for one year (July 2025 through June 2026) followed by a two-year term as Chair of the Faculty (July 2026 through June 2028).
In advance of each election, all members of the voting faculty are sent a Faculty Governance Interest Survey.
Retired faculty who are registered to vote elect their colleagues to represent the Division of Retired Faculty on the Faculty Council. The next retired faculty election for one seat on the Council will be held in spring 2026.
