At its meeting of May 9, 1994, the Academic Senate approved the
following Policy Recommendation presented by Cecilia Mullen for the Organization
and Government Committee.
| Resolved, that By-Law 11.1 be amended to read as follows: |
| 11.1 Subject to applicable provisions of the Constitution of the Academic
Senate of the California State University, |
a. Candidates for that body from this campus shall be nominated by
the faculty electorate from the faculty electorate at large, following
procedures similar to those prescribed for nomination of candidates
for the Academic Senate of San José State University.
|
b. Candidacy of the same person for both the Academic Senate CSU and
the Academic Senate SJSU at the same election is not permitted.
|
c. When there is a permanent vacancy in the SJSU representation on
the CSU Senate and the balance of the unexpired term exceeds one semester,
a special election shall be held to fill the vacancy for the balance
of the term. The election shall be held promptly after the determination
is made that there is or will be such a vacancy.
|
d. When a permanent vacancy occurs for one semester or less before
the end of the term of office, or there is a brief period during which
an incumbent CSU Senator will be unable to attend meetings, the Vice
Chair of the SJSU Senate shall act as interim CSU Senator. If the Vice
Chair is unable to act, the SJSU Senate Chair may designate any elected
member of the current SJSU Academic Senate (other than the CSU Senator)
to act as interim CSU Senator. Such an interim CSU Senator shall be
an SJSU Senator for all other purposes of the SJSU Senate.
|
e. When it appears that a CSU Senator, whose term has more than one
semester to run, will be unable, by reason of leave or otherwise, to
attend meetings of the CSU Senate for more than one semester, the seat
shall be deemed vacant and the vacancy filled by special election under
paragraph c of this by-law.
|
f. A faculty representative on the SJSU Senate who is elected to the
CSU Senate vacates his/her seat as an elected member of the SJSU Senate.
|
g. This policy is effective beginning academic year 1995/96.
