Adopted: January 13, 1987 ACADEMIC SENATE OF CALIFORNIA POLYTECHNIC STATE UNIVERSITY San Luis Obispo, California Background statement: During the 1986 election cycle, fewer nominations for Academic Senate positions were received than the number of openings to be filled. The Chair of the Senate was concerned since the Senate requires full membership to be an accurate authoritative voice of the faculty. The Constitution and Bylaws Committee proposed an amendment to the Bylaws which placed the burden of assurance of representation on the faculty to be represented before the annual election. The Chair felt this did not insure participation from all faculty. The Executive Committee on June 10, and sitting as the Academic Senate on July 8, requested the Constitution and Bylaws Committee to prepare bylaw changes to provide for unfilled vacancies after an election. The five specifications are included in the resolution. AS-236-87/CBC RESOLUTION ON RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE ELECTIONS COMMITTEE WHEREAS, 	 There is a desire to have full representation on the Academic Senate; therefore, be it RESOLVED: 	 That subsection (h) be added to Article VII.I.).b.(2): VII.
