Selection
Each of
the following divisions of the faculty will be represented
on the Committee on Tenure and Promotion by two elected tenured
senior faculty members from that division, but there may be
no more than one elected tenured senior faculty from any one
department and no member shall serve concurrently as the Speaker
of the Faculty. If a member of the Committee on Faculty Affairs,
the Academic Affairs Council, the Finance and Planning Council,
or the Student Life Council is elected to the Committee on
Tenure and Promotion, that person shall vacate the seat on
that Committee or Council.
DIVISION

DIVISION B - English, Modern Languages and Literatures, Music,
Theatre, Visual Arts
DIVISION C - Economics, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology

Each academic
year, four new members of the Committee on Tenure and Promotion
shall be elected. As soon as possible after the beginning
of the Spring semester, and following the elections of the
Speaker of the Faculty and the departmental representatives
to the Academic Affairs Council, the Committee on Nominations
and Elections shall send to each voting member of the teaching
faculty a list of the eligible tenured senior faculty members
who belong to the same division as the faculty member. From
this list, each faculty member shall nominate two. The Committee
on Nominations and Elections shall prepare a ballot on which
appear the names of those in each division who received the
three highest vote totals. This ballot will be sent to each
voting member of the teaching faculty who shall vote for one
person in each of the four divisions. The faculty member with
the highest number of votes in each division will be seated
provided that no member from the newly elected faculty member's
department is currently serving on the Committee on Tenure
and Promotion. Then, a faculty member with the next highest
vote total from another department in the division will be
seated. In the event of a tie in the divisional elections,
the Committee on Nominations and Elections shall prepare a
run-off ballot to determine the winner. Nominations for the
Committee on Tenure and Promotion, divisional and run-off
elections will each be conducted within a period of at least
ten teaching days. The sequence of nominations and elections
shall be conducted with dispatch.
