The three representatives and one alternate from the University of Oregon to the Interinstitutional Faculty Senate shall be elected by the University Senate from the university voting faculty as a whole. The three IFS senators serve staggered terms of three years. The alternate shall serve a one year term, which may be renewed. When electing an IFS representative, the senate shall ensure that at least one of the three IFS representatives is a current member of the senate or has previous senate experience.
This motion would amend election procedures for IFS representatives
to have the senate elect all three representatives, from both the senate
and faculty at large. Formerly, one seat of three was elected by the voting
faculty from the faculty at large, the other two by the senate from current
senators. The motion proposes that the senate elects all three IFS positions,
but from a wider constituency with the caveat that at least one IFS representative
has previous University Senate experience.
After asking for discussion on the motion and hearing none, the motion was put to a vote and passed unanimously.
