CAMPUS MEMO
To: Faculty, School of Engineering
From: M.G. Safonov, for Engineering Faculty Council
Date: April 23, 2001
Subject: Engineering Faculty Council Election Results
Ballots for the election of new council members were distributed to 129 full-time engineering faculty. Returned ballots were tallied on 4/20/99 by disinterested parties, Bart Kosko and Theodore Tsotsis, neither of whom was a candidate. To ensure ballot secrecy as required by the Council Bylaws and the Senate Constitution, the following procedure was employed:
1. Outer envelopes were sorted by department and the voter name on each was checked against the eligible voter list to ensure that no one voted twice. Envelopes were also checked for signatures in the upper left-hand corner as required to guard against ballot tampering.
2. These envelopes were then opened and the sealed inner “ballot” envelopes for each department were randomly shuffled.
3. Finally, the shuffled envelopes were opened and the votes tallied by department.
The results of the tally are summarized below:
