Beach lecturers will cast their votes for a representative
to the Academic Senate for the second time in two weeks in
a run-off election, by noon Friday, Dec. 14.
Mary Anwar from
the department of educational psychology and Armando Vasquez-Ramos
from the department of Chicano and Latino studies received
the most votes, and will run against one another in this final
election.
In last week's
election, 114 votes were cast. A candidate needed a simple
majority or 58 votes to win. Anwar received 55, Vasquez-Ramos
35 and Brewer Ward, from the department of computer engineering
and computer science, received 24 votes.
The position of
lecturer representative to the senate was vacated when Elizabeth
Dahab, department of comparative literature and classics,
was granted tenure earlier this year.
Betsy Decyk, department
of philosophy and psychology, holds the other seat of lecturer
representative and has for many years. Elections are held
every year. Decyk keeps getting re-elected.
"We're doing our
best to get the ballots out quickly," said Mary McGraw, assistant
to the chair of the Academic Senate. "Elections like this
don't often come up, and we want to get everything taken care
of before school gets out for winter break."
