From the Chair of the College Senate Bylaws and Elections Committee
The College Senate will hold elections from Monday, April 20, to Friday, April 24, to fill two at-large senator positions for faculty and one at-large senator position for professional staff or faculty.

The College Senate Bylaws and Elections Committee will again use an electronic voting system supplemented by paper ballots to conduct the elections. All elections are for three-year terms. Voting begins at 12:01 a.m. Monday, April 20, and continues until 11:59 p.m. Friday, April 24.

Our primary goals are to encourage participation in the shared governance of Buffalo State and to share information on each candidate. If you have not already visited the College Senate's elections information site to review the candidates’ qualifications, please do so.

Voter Eligibility
All full-time academics and professionals (NU = 8; negotiating unit 8)

Electronic or Paper Ballot
If you plan to vote electronically:

• The election e-booth will be located on the College Senate’s College Elections voting site.
• Log in using your e-mail user name and password.
• When you log in, the system will identify the election(s) in which you are eligible to vote. If you think you have been misidentified or some other issue arises, please contact Slade Gellin, College Senate parliamentarian.
• For general questions, please contact Vincent Masci, secretary to the College Senate, ext. 5139.

If you plan to vote by paper ballot, you must request a ballot. Ballots will be sent only to voters who request them. Please request a paper ballot in one of the following ways during the election period:

• E-mail Vince Masci, secretary to the College Senate.

Paper ballots will be distributed during the second week of April and will contain the same information about each candidate as the electronic site (with the exception of photographs or information from candidates’ web sites, should any of the candidates have web sites). They must be returned to the Senate Office by the close of business Friday, April 24, in order to be counted.

Furniture orders (all)

Purchase requisitions for computer equipment and equipment replacement requirements, as well as purchases through Staples/OfficeMax for office supplies, also must adhere to these deadlines.

In order to make ordering at the end of the fiscal year a smooth process for everyone, please do your best to plan your ordering as far in advance as possible to make sure you have the supplies you need before the cutoff dates. Sending in your requisitions well before the cutoff dates will give Procurement Services the time it needs to make sure your orders get placed before the deadlines.

Important note: It is the responsibility of departments to ensure that all requisitions for fiscal year 2014–2015 are received in the Procurement Office by 4:00 p.m. on the above deadline dates. Requests received after the deadlines will be held until the start of the next fiscal year.

Please call Steve Olsen in the Procurement Office at ext. 4113 with questions.
