April 26, 1999 Previous Election Results

CAMPUS  MEMO

To:      Faculty, School of Engineering
From:    M.G. Safonov, for Engineering Faculty Council
Date:    April 26, 1999
Subject: Engineering Faculty Council Election Results

Ballots for the election of new council members were  distributed to 121 full-time engineering faculty.

Returned ballots were tallied on 4/21/99 by disinterested  parties, M. Pirbazari and Edmond Jonckheere 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.

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.  There will be a runoff election 5/19/99 in AME between Kunc and Redekopp; runoff ballots will be sent to eligible AME faculty this week.
