Faculty Senate ElectionsDivisional Senate ElectionsAccording to the Constitution, elections are held during spring semester for divisional slots first, and then for at-large seats. UWRF has five divisions: the College of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences, the College of Arts and Sciences, and the College of Education and Professional Studies (the first three colleges), the Fourth Division, and the College of Business and Economics (the newest "division"). All tenure-track faculty and academic staff have "faculty status." Thus, the "faculty" of a college includes tenure-track faculty and academic staff within the college. The Fourth Division acquired its current name when there were only three colleges, and currently consists of academic staff outside the four colleges (i.e. student personnel, university services, and library academic staff), all of whom also have faculty status. The Vice Chair, as the agent of the Faculty Senate, shall conduct and validate elections. The procedure for electing senators shall be initiated by March 1 in the spring semester. Division Elections – Senate Seats
After divisional elections are completed, a similar process begins to select at-large faculty senators: junior (i.e. assistant professors, instructors, and academic staff) and senior (i.e. associate and full professors). The Constitution and additional details about the election processes are located in Chapter III of the Handbook. 2009-2010 Divisional Election Timeline

2007-2010 Termination Committee ElectionsThe Termination Committee is established by the faculty, in response to the requirements of UWS 4.03 and UWS 5.11 of the Wisconsin Administrative Code, as a standing committee of nine tenured, full-time faculty members, nominated and elected by the faculty. (Academic staff shall not participate in the election of this committee.) Members serve three year terms, with one-third (three members) being elected each year. According to the Faculty Senate's By-Laws, all faculty members (but not Academic Staff) shall be eligible to nominate and vote for members of the Committee on Termination. Each faculty member may nominate one person for each vacancy that exists on the Committee (i.e. each person can nominate three tenured people this year). Two persons will be nominated for each vacancy, and those nominated will be faculty members receiving the largest number of votes. The Vice Chair of the Faculty Senate will contact the nominees and obtain their consent before placing their names on the election ballot. If any nominee declines, the person having the next largest number of votes shall have his or her name placed on the ballot once it is determined by the Vice Chair that he or she accepts the nomination. Election shall be by secret ballot. The persons receiving the largest number of votes shall be declared elected and the vote will be published. Ties will be broken by lot.
