In accordance with Senate bylaws, the University Secretariat has informed the Senate electorate of the current electorate list.

Based on new Senate Electorate Guidelines approved by Senate at its meeting on Jan. 17, the list is also being posted on the Secretariat website for the review of the broader University community.

In accordance with those guidelines, any individual, including non-Senators, can seek a reconsideration by the Senate Election Subcommittee if they wish to be included in the electorate.

The Brock University Act stipulates that Senate shall be composed of members of the full-time teaching staff, which is defined in the Act to include professors, lecturers, associates, instructors, demonstrators and all others engaged in the work of teaching or giving instruction or in research.

If any individual believes that they satisfy this definition but are not currently included in the Senate electorate list, they may submit a request to the Senate Election Subcommittee, outlining how they fall within the Act’s definition, with reference to the Senate Electorate Guidelines.

The request should include any relevant documentation, such as job descriptions or job postings. Requests may be submitted to universitysecretary@brocku.ca and must be submitted no later than Monday, March 5 at 9 a.m.
