17 nominations were received for the category ‘Elected academic staff (non-Professorial) - College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences’, therefore an election will now be held for these positions.
Academic (teaching and research) staff in CAHSS, who do not hold professorships, are eligible to vote to fill the 12 positions available. Non-professorial academic staff employed by Corportate Services Group and the University Secretary’s Group, are also eligible to vote.
Voting will take place online, and will open on 24 March 2021 and close on 31 March 2021 at 12 noon. Further information on the candidates, and how to vote, is available on the Senate website.
In the other categories, the number of nominations received was fewer than the number of vacancies, and therefore the nominees have been elected unopposed. These results are now available on the Senate website.
The full election results will be announced on the Senate website after voting closes on 31 March 2021.
