Greg Schneider, first vice president and professor of business administration, will choose the at-large senator for the second vice president nominating committee. The election will take place in the spring.
Faculty Senate presented their members for the nominating committee during the general meeting Tuesday.
“The purpose of that committee is to go on the ballot of potential nominees for second vice president elections in the spring,” said Steve Lovett, president of Faculty Senate and assistant professor of business administration. “That ballot will be handed back to the senate in the Spring.”
The nominees for the committee are Stephanie Lanter, assistant professor of art, Michael Butler, professor of health, physical education and recreation, Brendan Fay, assistant professor in the school of library and information management and Carol Lucy, assistant professor of business administration.
The committee will also be composed of Greg Schneider, first vice president and professor of social sciences.
“The nominating committee is chaired by the second vice president,” Lovett said.
Membership of the committee consists of the first vice president, a senator from each school and one at-large senator nominated by the first vice president.
Antonina Bauman, senator and assistant professor of business administration, was concerned about how this would affect the School of Business senators since the department split. Now, there are two senators from each department, instead of three senators from one department.
Lovett also mentioned that they would be discussing whether they would allow senators to regularly attend senate committee and general meetings electronically during the faculty executive meeting at 3:30 p.m. today in the Roe R. Cross room.
“It is a situation that has two significant nuances, one of which is identifying and working with those individuals who have a legally recognized disability, by which I mean making accommodations for those disabilities,” Lovett said. “Then a nuance in which an individual prefers to attend electronically because they live out of town and they’re traveling.”
The next Faculty Senate meeting will be at 3:30 p.m. Sept. 18 in the Skyline Room in the Memorial Union.
