Report on Membership of the University Faculty Council

In general, terms on the Faculty Council run for three years. New members begin their terms in August of each academic year. The launching of the new University Faculty Council in 2005 necessitated a slight readjustment of term dates, but for the most part we are, in fact, replacing roughly one-third of the membership each year. In August 2007 the following UniFC members' terms will expire:

• Art Lubin, AMAT
• Bob Krawczyk, ARCH
• Andy Howard, BCPS
• Sanjiv Kapoor, CS
• Victor Pérez-Luna, ChBE
• Patrick Corrigan, PSYC

Last week I emailed the chairs of those six academic units, with copies to the members from that unit. In those emails I asked for consideration of replacements or reappointments in time for the May UniFC meeting. The responses I have received so far are:

• Fred Hickernell said AMAT will vote on a replacement or reappointment of Art Lubin at its 2 May 2007 faculty meeting.
• Fouad Teymour has indicated that ChBE will chose its representative prior to the first meeting in the fall.
• Ellen Mitchell said Psychology would provide an answer soon.

The Student Government Association has appointed its representative to the UniFC. She is Caitlin Hubbard, a BCPS freshman.
