Trouble is, you can’t vote if you’re not teaching at .50 FTE or greater this term. The Senate enfranchises individual faculty by the FTE assigned to them by Unclassified Personnel Services, and UPS makes lots and lots of errors. Adjuncts reclassified as career instructors are causing a lot of problems….full-time instructors left off the UPS rolls, half-time instructors registered by UPS at less than .50 FTE, and on and on. It’s a mess.

Can you point out the relevant language in the Constitution and/or Byaws that stipulate this .5 restriction? I’m looking and can’t find it.

I can’t find it, either.

Me again – I don’t think that restriction applies any more. The statutory faculty definition does not make that distinction so we may be applying a rule that does not exist.
