The Grievance Committee consists of three members and two alternates who are elected for three year terms. This committee was last elected in 1997 and so will be redone in the fall of 2000. The Board is elected in the fall semester with terms beginning immediately. There are seven faculty seats, four corresponding to various ranks and three representatives of various organizations. The representatives of the faculty ranks are elected in odd numbered years and those of the organizations in even numbered years.
Terms are for two years with no limit on the number of terms that can be served consecutively.
Nominations for these positions shall be made in accord with procedures determined by the Faculty Senate. Traditionally, nominations have been done from the floor of a Faculty Senate Meeting. If there is more than one nomination for a position then elections are held. Representatives for each group are elected by those in the group.
