In year one, at-large members will be elected by full voting faculty. Academic Council will solicit interest in serving, but will not provide a slate of nominees. All nominations for Academic Council will be made from the floor. All voting will be by secret ballot. Also in year one, a representative of the academic support staff with faculty rank will be elected at a meeting of that group coordinated by the current Academic Council member. In years two and three, divisions and schools will elect their representative at the February School/College meeting. The current Academic Council members from each division and school will coordinate these elections. Members of Academic Council will take office during the last Academic Council meeting of the academic year and will serve until their successors are duly installed.
