Rules for the Election

    • THIS IS A RUN-OFF ELECTION DUE TO TIE DURING PREVIOUS BALLOT
    • Each department can have at most two representatives on CAPC.
    • Due to the above restriction CAPC can not accept any nominations from Biology,Psychology, and History.
    • Faculty may self-nominate for an at-large seat, a school representative seat, or both. *Faculty members who are not elected to an at-large seat will not automatically be added to the college representative category. Any faculty member wishing to be considered for both seats must initially apply for both. There will be no second nomination period. *Faculty members elected to at-large seats will have their nomination automatically withdrawn from the appropriate representative ballot before the election for those seats begins.
    • 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.

Ann Abbott


Department: Graduate Social Work

After completing almost two full terms as a member of CAPC, I am interested in continuing to serve as a representative for the School of Business and Public Affairs. I am familiar not only with the current curricular issues but also with the policies and procedures necessary to address the broad range of academic concerns that are brought before CAPC for consideration. If re-elected, I would bring more than 20 years of experience in curriculum development and program accreditation at both undergraduate and graduate levels. I welcome your support and, if re-elected, would greatly appreciate the opportunity for ongoing participation on this extremely important university committee.

I have served as proxy for CAPC for the past four years. During that time, I have developed a strong interest in the issues which are important to the committee. I would appreciate your support for my candidacy. Thanks.
