Every effort will be made to have representation from each unit. Alternate members will serve for one year. A member whose term is ending may reapply or be re-nominated. Classified Senate membership appointments will be made in May of each year. All full members have equal participatory rights on the council including, but not limited to, the right to vote on all matters presented to Classified Senate.
Alternate members have participatory rights, excluding the right to vote.
Vacancies will be announced each January via the Classified Senate Summary sent to all non-bargaining classified employees. Any eligible employee wishing to be considered for membership may submit to the Chair, an application indicating their interest. Nominations also will be accepted for consideration. If a vacancy occurs during the term of membership, Classified Senate executive committee will have the authority to appoint an alternate to fill the vacated term. An alternate will serve out the remaining term if the alternate is a representative from the unit in which the vacancy occurs.
