To be read in the Spring semester before Vice Chairs are elected

The Academic Senate of MSUB represents all faculty from both of our campuses (University Campus and City College). To ensure that one campus does not exert continuous control over the Senate, the Academic Senate supports a rotating Chair procedure whereby (to the extent possible given Senate membership and Vice Chair affiliation) the Chair-Elect position will not be filled from one campus for more than two consecutive terms (i.e., 6 years).  However, to avoid forcing the Chair position on an unwilling individual simply because of campus affiliation, eligible members from the appropriate campus will be allowed the right of first refusal, after which the Chair-Elect can be chosen from either campus in accordance with Senate procedures.
