Rules for the Election

    • Faculty from the Department of Communications may not run in this elections since that department already has two continuing representatives.
    • Each department can have at most two representatives on CAPC.
    • The election is decided by a plurality of those casting votes unless such results violate the previous rule or the number of candidates does not exceed the number of positions to fill. In the later case, each candidate will be voted on by an approve/disapprove ballot.
    • Vacant seats will be filled one at a time with the current vacant seat filled by the candidate with the highest vote count. As each seat is filled, the candidate filling that seat and any other candidates from the same department as the candidate filling that seat will be disqualified. Votes cast for disqualified candidates, as just defined, will not be considered in filling remaining vacant seats.
    • Each candidate selected counts as a cast vote.
    • Members elected to at-large seats cannot be nominated for school representative seats.
    • Seats with longer terms will be filled first. In the case of an approve/disapprove ballot, candidates will be ranked according to number of approve votes.

R. Lorraine Bernotsky


Department: Poltical Science

I have been a member of CAPC for the past four years, first as a representative for my school, then as an at-large member. During that time I have served on a number of CAPC subcommittees in addition to serving as a CACP representative on other university-wide committees. I have had the oppotunity to contribute to some significant work in my roles on these committees and I would welcome the oppotunity to continue to serve as a member of CAPC.

Amanda Cain


Department: Library

My responsibilities as a reference, collection development, and instruction librarian expose me to a wide spectrum of curricular issues. Serving on CAPC will give me a deeper understanding of these issues and the opportunity to participate in their development.

Judith Greenamyer


Department: Biology

I have served on CAPC for several years. I was involvd with devising policies that try to protect our general education program from the Harrisburg mandated Academic Passport; the revisions to general education; and now the 120 credit mandate. I have also served as the CAPC representative to the Academic Structure Committee, trying to make sure that the People Soft program will be compatible with our current policies. I would like to continue to serve the faculty interests while serving on CAPC.

Anne Herzog


Department: English

I was elected two years ago for this, my first term, on CAPC. In many ways, this period has been one of initiation for me, as I learned how CAPC functions. I have enjoyed this first term and feel I contributed positively to both the larger body and my subcommittee assignments. I feel better positioned now as an experienced CAPC representative to undertake another term. The work of CAPC is very important, especially in these days of budget cuts and increasing pressures from the state level that impact our curriculum. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to serve again.

Cheryl Hodgins


Department: Social Work

University curricular and academic policies are the important work of an academic institution. I would like to be a part of this essential work, and I will work hard at it. I am equally interested in values and ethics associated with academics.

Stacey Schlau


Department: Foreign Languages

My service on CAPC has been varied, including several terms on the General Education (Chair three times), Undergraduate Programs, and Undergraduate Policies Committees. Thus I have a broad background and deep history about curricular issues, especially as regards this campus, but also nationally. I would like to continue to serve on CAPC, as I maintain a firm belief in its importance to our academic mission and operations at WCU.

Frauke Schnell


Department: Political Science

Over the past years I have taught several general education courses, an Honors course, a course that is part of the Holocaust Studies Program, and a new diversity course. I would like to bring these experiences, as well as my commitment to student research into CAPC.

Jim Trotman


Department: English

CAPC remains critical to the faculty voice on curriculum matters, and I would like to participate in the discussions during this important part of our campus history. In the recent past, I have been in a position to see first hand some of this academic history unfold. As a professor of English, I have participated in the general education revisions now in place. As the Director of the Frederick Douglass Institute at WCU, I have witnessed an interdisciplinary, intergenerational and interracial academic program make unusual strides in response to the meaning of Douglass' legacy for our campus. I would like to continue being an advocate for a strong curriculum by serving on CAPC.
