A signed statement by the faculty member attesting to the accuracy of the information included in the packet and a stipulation on the part of the Chair that the material is consistent with the chair's knowledge of the faculty member's performance (see attached form, "Statements of Accuracy") must also be included.

Selection
The Selection Committee will consist of one elected representative from each of the five colleges and the current President of the Faculty Association. Relatives of the nominee, and significant others, may not serve on the Selection Committee considering the nominee for an award. The Faculty Association President shall replace by appointment any member of the Selection Committee who cannot participate fully in the selection of the two winners. Any such replacement shall be selected from the constituency represented by the member. The Faculty Association President shall convene the Committee, which will elect its own Chairperson.

The Selection Committee will choose the two award winners through a secret ballot vote. The Committee shall make this choice solely on the basis of the nominees' merits and without consideration for other factors such as departmental affiliation, professional rank of present nominees, or past award winners.
