The number of Senators from each college shall be proportional to the total faculty as determined by the Executive Committee by January 31st of each year based on the Spring Semester faculty roster. For purposes of calculating numbers of Senators, only faculty eligible to vote for senators shall be counted. For voting purposes the NKU Library faculty will be placed in the College of Professional Studies. The College of Law shall be considered an academic college. Within each college, every department or independent program elects one Senator.
Independent program is defined as a group of faculty having a director.
The NKU Library faculty shall be considered as one program. The Salmon P. Chase College of Law, including the Law Library, shall be considered as one program. Eligible colleges elect additional Senators to fill out their allocation. The term of office shall run from July 1st through June 30th. By no later than the tenth week of the Fall semester, those departments or independent programs whose Senator's term will expire on June 30th shall elect, from those not already elected to the Faculty Senate, a representative from among their faculty.
