Administrative and Professional Assembly

Nominations and Elections 2005

The A&P Constitution calls for 21 elected members. Membership should be proportional by Vice-Presidential Divisions as determined by the Executive Committee. The Chair and Chair-elect are not counted in the representation proportion

The following table illustrates the 2003-04 representation on the Assembly by units and the recommended representation scheme determined by the Executive Committee for the election of 2004-05 representatives to the assembly.

Rationale for the recommended scheme:

1.       The approach allows some flexibility for handling organizational changes;

2.       Organizational changes are not likely for most of the elements of this scheme;

3.       This borrows from the University Senate's scheme in that traditional parts of the University have their own representatives;

4.       Those units that are combined have some reason behind their combination: (a) ACES and Outreach have some tradition of working together; (b) Education and Liberal Arts are close together in Hale Center; (c) Business and COSAM are part of the "traditional" elements of the University; (d) CADC, Nursing, and Pharmacy are smaller professional programs, Nursing and Pharmacy are located close together; (e) Forestry and Human Sciences are located close to each other; and (f) Ag and AAES are part of the same organization; (g) only the addition of Alumni to the Library and the Office of the Provost doesn't have any solid connection; and

5.       If organizational changes occur after and election, then the representative scheme can be adjusted before the next election.

6.       This scheme allows representatives to represent a fixed, known group, and provides some flexibility.
