Voting open now for Senate officer and Faculty Assembly elections

Faculty may be away from campus, but that won’t stop selections for University Senate officers and members of Faculty Assembly.

Voting opened on April 1 at my.pitt.edu on a slate of names presented by the Senate Committee for Elections, which includes faculty members from all academic areas of the University. Voting will conclude on April 16.

The current three top officers — Chris Bonneau, president; David Salcido, vice president; and Gosia Fort, secretary — are running unopposed.

Faculty on all campuses are to vote for Senate officers. In addition, faculty members on the Pittsburgh campus only are to vote for members of the Faculty Assembly. Currently, Engineering, the Graduate School of International and Public Administration, Social Work and the University Library System have no openings on Faculty Assembly.
