According to the Faculty Senate Bylaws, non-tenured faculty who have split appointments between two apportionment units may choose with which unit they wish to be apportioned for Senate purposes. This choice will determine Senate representation. Faculty not choosing where they wish to be apportioned will be placed in an apportionment unit at the discretion of the Faculty Senate Office. Respond to the survey at http://oregonstate.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_3faYxl8N2Jo2aHz by noon on Tuesday, Nov. 1 to indicate with which unit you wish to be apportioned. Tenured faculty will be apportioned in their tenure unit, with the exception of off-campus Extension, OSU-Cascades, and Hatfield Marine Science Center.

3. The OSU Department of Public Safety/Oregon State Police Emergency Status Information Phone provides current information about weather alerts and closures as well as campus emergencies. The recorded phone message will report the status of campus (open or closed) and information related to the emergency or closure situation. You may access this information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by dialing 541-737-8000.
