        Statement of Faculty Senate Action: 





                                 FWDC Document #2

                FACULTY ASSEMBLY REPRESENTATIVE REPLACEMENT POLICY





        Proposed addition to the policy on election of Faculty Assembly

        Representative:  



             A faculty assembly representative may be recalled by a simple

        majority vote of the Faculty Senate if he or she fails to attend

        more than two meetings in one academic year or if he or she fails

        to suitably attempt to arrange for a replacement for more than one

        meeting that he or she cannot attend during the term of service.

        The replacement is that representative's designated alternate; the

        designated alternate shall finish the representative's term.  The

        new designated alternate will be the person who received the third

        most votes in the original election.  If there was a tie for the

        third most votes, then the new alternate shall be determined by a

        coin flip at the next Faculty Senate meeting.  



        Current policy 



             No replacement policy exists.

        Rationale 



             The importance of the faculty assembly representative position

        requires that the people elected take their position seriously.

        Even though the new election policy of the Senate (nominating a few

        people to be on a ballot for a campus-wide election rather than a

        ballot which has the names of all eligible faculty) increases the

        chances that candidates will fulfil their duties, a replacement

        policy provides an option if they do not and also indicates to the

        representatives that the Senate will not tolerate a casual attitude

        toward attendance of Faculty Assembly meetings.
