Elections for members of the University of Oregon Senate, its standing committees and officers of administration council is on hold due to technical errors. An email sent to UO staff and faculty by Interim President Scott Coltrane and Senate President Robert Kyr said that a technical issue could compromise the election results.
The election began May 8 and is now rescheduled to take place between May 25 and June 8 on Duckweb.
“The university values its elected representative bodies,” Kyr and Coltrane’s statement said. “This representation and the election process is a crucial element of effective shared governance. We are taking this step to ensure the integrity of the election process and will publish full results when voting is concluded.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.”
This election is for the University Senate not the ASUO senate, which is made up of students. The University Senate is made up of faculty, officers of administration, students, classified staff and research officers.
