Faculty elections for police oversight panel now underway

Topics:

Elections for the two faculty representatives for the University of Michigan Police Department Oversight Committee are now underway.

Members of the following groups are eligible to vote in the non-Senate faculty election for this position: lecturers, active emeriti, adjunct and clinical faculty members. The newly elected member of the committee will be appointed in May.

Online voting is available now through 5 p.m. on April 22. The candidates are Howard Bromberg, Eric Fretz and Andrea Morrow. Voting more than once or for more than one candidate will result in disqualification.

From April 11-15, the Senate Advisory Committee on University Affairs also will conduct a similar election for the Faculty Senate member to serve on the committee. Senate members eligible to vote will receive a targeted email with instructions.

The six-member oversight committee consists of two student members, two faculty members (one Senate and one non-Senate faculty), and two staff members (one union and one non-union), who are nominated and elected by their peers for two-year terms. 

The committee receives and makes recommendations regarding grievances against any police officer deputized by the university.
