THE CONSTITUTION
OF THE
FACULTY SENATE OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA AT OMAHA

Amended by the Faculty Senate, March, 1996
Approved by the Board of Regents, April 27, 1996

ARTICLE II. DEFINITIONS.

External Faculty. University of Nebraska faculty members whose primary appointment is at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL), University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC), or University of nebraska at Kearney (UNK) but whose workload assignment is fifty percent or more on the UNO campus shall be designated as "external faculty."

ARTICLE III. ELECTION OF SENATORS.

In addition, University of Nebraska faculty from UNL, UNK OR UNMC , hereafter deemed "external faculty," whose workload consists of more than fifty percent conducted on the UNO campus, may nominate and elect without respect to university or college up to two voting representatives to the UNO Faculty Senate. The election of these external faculty senators shall be in addition to the senators from UNO provided for in the prior paragraph. The representation ratio of external faculty senators shall be the same as representation ratio for senators from UNO, unless the UNO ratio would require more than two external faculty senators or unless the UNO ratio would not allow external faculty at least one external faculty senator. These external faculty senators may not become senate officers, senate standing committee chairs or vice chairs, nor may they chair any ad hoc senate committees. If an external faculty senator should change status such that his or her workload no longer constitutes more than fifty percent being performed at UNO, then he or she must resign from the Senate. The seat shall be filled according to procedures provided in the bylaws. External faculty senators are subject to all other requirements and restrictions as described in the constitution and bylaws.

The apportionment of seats for senators from UNO shall be based on the UNO faculty roster in effect the first day of classes for the spring semester of each academic year. The chancellor of UNO shall provide the president of the senate with a current roster for this purpose, and shall make all reasonable efforts to obtain faculty rosters from UNK, UNL, AND UNMC for the election of external faculty senators.
