We elect new officers at our spring business meeting after a session on Saturday, February 27.  Thus, we are calling for nominations for the following offices: President-Elect; Vice President, Northeast Region; Vice President, West Region.

The term for a Vice President is two years.  The President-Elect commits to a four-year term, i.e. one year as P.E., two years as President and one year as Past President.  Nominations can be sent to
jkotarba@uh.edu.

Nominations will also be accepted from the floor. At the meeting, candidates for election are allowed two people to speak on their behalf for two minutes each.


The Council's purposes include:

  • maintaining communication and coordinating among faculty governance organizations from different institutions;
  • assisting faculty governance organizations in the discharge of their responsibilities; and
  • representing faculty governance organizations, primarily in matters of professional standards and academic responsibility, to government and other bodies.
