[QCsenate 0087] CORRECTED MESSAGE: Social Sciences Dean Search Committee - Some new members needed

[Roberta Brody]

Dear Colleagues:

Provost Hendrey informs me that the search for the position of Dean of Social Sciences "will be extended and re-advertised"

Those who are on the  current Search Committee who are able to do so, will continue as members.

However, all of the student members are graduating and one of the faculty members of the Social Sciences Division will be on leave next year.

Therefore, we must elect new members at the May 8 meeting of the QC Academic Senate as follows:
-One faculty member from Social Sciences
-Five students whose major is in the Social Sciences AS WELL AS one student from
the Education Division.
(One need NOT be a Senator to serve on this search
committee)

You can poll people and even submit someone's name -- as long as they approve of the submission -- or you may self-nominate to serve on a search committee, if they are otherwise qualified as listed in the paragraph immediately above. Names to be considered MUST be submitted using the Nominating Committee form on
the Senate website "at least 14 days prior to the meeting" -- which in this instance would April 24, 2014 -- 14 days prior to May 8, 2014. Please go to  http://senate.qc.cuny.edu/NomCom/Application.xhtml for information and the
application form


What follows are excerpts 1> from the QC Academic Senate Charter* regarding the
number of and qualifications of members of a search committee for an academic
dean (other than the Dean of Education) and 2> from the Bylaws** regarding rules
for timely submission of names.

Academic (full) Deans shall be nominated in the following manner:

A.        The Academic Senate will elect a Search Committee consisting of five
full-time faculty members and five students who are members of or majors in the

dean being sought will be responsible.  Students elected to Academic Senate
Search Committees as representatives from the Division of Education may be
either co-majors in Elementary and Early Childhood Education or minors in
Secondary Education and Youth Services, or be matriculated in a graduate program
in the Division.

1.        The Academic Senate shall elect an additional faculty member and an
additional student, who are members of or majors in the Division of Education,
to serve on the Search Committees for the Deans of Arts, Social Sciences, and
Mathematics and Natural Sciences.

2> From the Bylaws regarding candidates for a committee:

Section 6.        Any member of the College community may recommend candidates
for any committee by communicating the names of such persons to the Nominating
Committee in writing.  Such recommendations must contain the statement that
those recommended know of the recommendation and are willing to serve if
elected.  The names of those so recommended and by whom shall be included when
the nominations are presented for election. When a committee election is noted
