Check back here for updates about the 2027-28 Academic Senate Elections timeline and processes!

  1. The nomination is for a two-year term. However, under certain circumstances, terms may be one year only.
  2. Meetings are held every other Wednesday, 2:30 p.m. – 5 p.m.
  3. For the 2027-28 academic year all meetings will be held in person. The Executive Council of the Academic Senate is a Brown Act Body, and thus Remote attendance is subject to legal guidelines as outlined in SB707. Council members who must participate remotely due to a documented disability will be able to do so. 

ALL FACULTY MEMBERS – part-time, full-time, credit and noncredit may run for Executive Council. Council members may serve up to three consecutive two-year terms, and then must sit out for one year.

ANY three faculty members -- part-time, full-time, credit or noncredit (not necessarily Council members) -- may nominate you by signing the nomination form. Please note: on the nomination form, the words “three undersigned Senate members” refers to ANY three faculty members.

All faculty members – part-time, full-time, credit, and noncredit – may vote in the elections. Voting is conducted online during the Spring semester. Voting instructions will be publicized via email and posted on the Academic Senate website. Discrepancies will be settled by the Election Commissioners.

Dear Colleagues,

Do you dream of participating in thoughtful, deliberate discussions to shape and create equitable and sustainable processes? Does the idea of slow, messy, but deeply considered change excite you? We have great news for you!

Soon, it will be time for the 2027-28 Academic Senate Executive Council Nominations Process! The Executive Council is the recommending body in all academic and professional matters, also known as the 10+1. Whatever your area of expertise, experience, or interest might be, it is needed and appreciated on the Executive Council! If you are not available to serve yourself, consider encouraging a colleague to do so. All CCSF faculty members (including full and part-time instructors, counselors, librarians, and all other faculty members) are eligible to run for seats and to nominate candidates - we are a senate of the whole, remember?

Throwing your hat in the ring is easy:

  • Get three faculty colleagues to support your nomination
  • Put their names and emails in the nomination form
  • Consider putting together a candidate statement (no more than 200 words!)
  • Upload a photo

Check back here for more information about the timeline and process - COMING SOON!

Please read through the Election information and nomination form documents. Election information will also be made available on the Academic Senate Website. Questions may be directed to individual election commissioners or emailed to [email protected].
