Senate Action: were adjuncts allowed to vote?
Permalink Closed

A post on another thread about Noel Polk's letter got me to thinking about this. On the last few votes the Senate had regarding Thames:


1) Were non-tenured faculty allowed to vote
2) Were adjuncts or other part-time faculty allowed to vote?


Thank you.

Not sure what you're referring to exactly here. If you're talking about the campus-wide "no confidence", all full time tenure-track faculty were allowed to vote.

I know that. I asked about the non-tenured and other part-time people. Were any efforts taken to include them or allow them to be inlcuded? Better yet, was it planned to exclude them?

I believe anyone with a valid faculty ID was allowed to vote. You had to have and show the ID to get a ballot.

Online Prof,

All faculty including non-tenured and one-year appointment (faculty) were encouraged to attend the convocation and vote.

I don't know if Online Prof was asking about the Faculty Senate 'vote of no confidence' in SFT. Just in case this may also be in question, it's worth noting that to be elected to the Faculty Senate, one must be a 'regular member of the academic core' of campus, and professors with 'Visiting' and/or 'Adjunct' in their job title are NOT eligible for election.

And that is totally appropriate.  I have been an adjunct.  You just show up and teach.  A person who does not have department responsibilities should not expect privileges like voting.
