Notice of Senate Election – Final Day to Vote

Dear Colleagues,

Since its founding, the San Diego Divisional Academic Senate has played a vital role in the governance of our university. Particularly during this time of uncertainty, it is critical that faculty exercise their voice. Last year we had a record turnout, with participation nearly double the usual rate. Higher participation gives the Academic Senate a stronger mandate to represent its members and strengthens shared governance across the campus.

If you have not yet voted, please do so before the election closes at 4:30 p.m. today (Wednesday, May 13, 2026). If you have already voted, thank you!

Review the reference ballot and bios for the candidates on the Senate webpage.
All voting is electronic via the Spring election’s online ballot (Single Sign-On Required).

Our campus has significantly grown since our founding, and not all faculty will know everyone who is on the ballot. The voting reference page and the ballot itself includes a bio for each candidate to provide information about your colleagues running for Senate positions.

Thank you for participating in this democratic process!

Sincerely,

Akos Rona-Tas
Vice Chair, Academic Senate, San Diego Division

University of California San Diego, 9500 Gilman Drive, La Jolla, CA, 92093
