Nominations are open for Senate and non-Senate faculty representatives to serve on the University of Michigan Police Department Oversight Committee.
Nominations for Senate representative candidates are due Oct. 11, and non-Senate nominations are due Oct. 6.
The committee considers grievances against any U-M police officer or the department and reports its findings and recommendations to the Division of Public Safety and Security executive director.
The six-member oversight committee includes two faculty members, one Senate and one non-Senate; two staff members, one union and one non-union; and two students. Committee members are nominated and elected by their peers through separate processes and serve two-year terms.
Non-Senate faculty members on the Ann Arbor campus and in Michigan Medicine may nominate themselves or someone else online at myumi.ch/M65PA. Only submissions from those eligible to vote in the election will be considered.
University Human Resources is conducting this election. A staff member will contact eligible nominees for their consent to run in the election. Online voting will take place Oct. 21-27.
The Faculty Senate Office is coordinating the election of the Senate faculty representative, and nominations of Ann Arbor campus Faculty Senate members can be submitted online at forms.gle/Q8gCzi2C3Z5CebMu6.
