UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA DAVIS ACADEMIC SENATE

February 14, 2001

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON ELECTIONS, RULES AND JURISDICTION

TO: All members of the Davis Division of the Academic Senate

The Call for Nominations for membership on the Committee on Committees (2001-2003) resulted in three nominations. The number of places to be filled was three positions. Therefore according to the Bylaws, the election by postal ballot was omitted and all three nominees were declared elected. The results are being reported to the members of the Academic Senate for information. In addition, the Representative Assembly will be asked, at the April meeting to ratify this action and to instruct the Secretary of the Davis Division to declare all nominees officially elected.

The three nominees elected were:

Susan Kaiser, Textiles and Clothing

Richard Lander, Physics

Marion Miller, Environmental Toxicology

For your information, at the June 6, 2000 meeting of the Representative Assembly the Bylaws for the Committee on Committees were amended to add three additional members (from 6 to 9) and the terms were extended from two years to three. In order to make a smooth transition from the old procedures to the new procedures, the Secretary was instructed to initiate a special election during the third week of October 2000 to elect three members whose terms were to begin immediately after their election was determined by the Committee on Elections, Rules and Jurisdiction and to serve until August 2003. Since the postal ballot was omitted, the three above named nominees were declared elected. Under the old procedures, the terms of those members due to expire under the old procedures (after the October election) were extended to end immediately after results of the election initiated in March 2001 are determined. Those members are William Casey (Land, Air and Water Resources), Douglas C. Nelson (Microbiology/DBS) and Judith S. Stern (Nutrition). The terms of those members due to expire under the old procedures after the election that would have been initiated in October 2001 were also extended and will end immediately after results of the election initiated in March 2002 are determined. Those members are: Ronald Hedrick, (Medicine and Epidemiology:VM), Judith Newton (Women and Gender Studies) and Jessica Utts (Statistics). This transition period will end after the election initiated in March 2003 and members will serve three year terms.
