Rules for the Election

    • 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.

Christine Karpinski


Department: Health - Nutrition

I have a passionate belief in the iterative process of curriculum development and the value of shared governance, and it would be an honor to serve on CAPC. Although I have taught at WCU since 1999, I have just finished my first year as a tenure-track faculty member – and am finally in a position to be able to serve my department, college and the university more fully. Last year, I had the great opportunity to be a proxy for Dr. Jeff Harris at a CAPC meeting, and I was very impressed with the people and the process. In addition to my enthusiasm, I also have experience in curriculum/program development within the department of Nutrition. I hope to have the opportunity to serve on CAPC – with the ultimate motivator being improving the experience of the students at WCU.
