Subj: Votes on Resolutions
Here are the results of the vote. There are 470 voting faculty in CAS according to Senior Associate Dean Charles Stinger. From these, 282 ballots were returned. One ballot was invalid with respect to both resolutions: one additional ballot was invalid with respect to Resolution #2.
The Bylaws (Article VII, E, Section 3) say: "A referendum shall pass if approved by a two-thirds vote, with a majority in participation. A two-thirds vote means at best two-thirds of the valid votes."
A majority of 470 is 235. There were 280 unspoiled ballots. So a majority were in participation. The actual results of the voting were:
| Resolution | Yes Votes | No Votes | Spoiled Ballots |
| Resolution #1 | 265 | 16 | 1 |
| Resolution #2 | 255 | 24 | 2 |
So the requirement of two-thirds of the valid votes is satisfied. Both resolutions pass.
