Service Opportunities

The Academic Senate of the CSU (ASCSU) proposed an amendment to the ASCSU Constitution to include three (3) lecturer senators on the ASCSU.  The Board of Trustees approved the amendment at their March meeting.

According to the constitutional amendment:

• The lecturer senator electorate shall consist of one lecturer faculty member elected by and from the lecturer faculty on each campus, according to rules established on each campus.
• Three lecturer senators shall be elected by and from the lecturer senator electorate.
• Lecturer senators shall serve staggered three-year terms beginning June 1.
• Terms of members of the lecturer senator electorate, procedures for electing lecturer senators and alternates, procedures for the recall of lecturer senators and alternates by the electorate, and responsibilities of alternates shall be specified in the ASCSU Bylaws.

The Academic Senate Elections and Procedures Committee is seeking nominations for one (1) lecturer faculty member to be included in the ASCSU lecturer electorate from which three lecturer senators shall be elected by the ASCSU. The three system-wide lecturer senators are not counted as campus representatives, thus if elected by the ASCSU to serve in this capacity, the representative will not automatically become a member of the Cal Poly Pomona Academic Senate. ASCSU Senators receive release time for their committee work.  The term for an ASCSU lecturer senator is three years.

Eligible candidates must hold a one-year (or longer) appointment and be full-time or part-time with a time base entitlement of at least 0.6.

If interested, please ask five (5) lecturers (full or part-time) to send an email to senate@cpp.edu supporting your nomination.

All nominations are due Friday, March 27, 2026.
