Who gets to vote in the faculty elections?
Article 1, Section 4 of the Faculty Code defines the “Voting Faculty” as comprised of all members of the General Faculty with tenured or probationary-term appointments, librarians who are members of the General Faculty, and fixed-term faculty whose positions meet certain criteria (see below). A member of the Voting Faculty who retires but continues on the faculty with a fixed-term appointment that calls for at least one-half time effort retains the voting status that he or she held immediately prior to retirement. As of 2010, UNC had about 3500 voting-eligible faculty members.
