A 100-percent turnout from University College faculty members led to a sweep of all contested seats in the election that ended on Sunday, bringing to an end the control of the chamber by faculty from Becton College on the Florham campus.
Candidates who campaigned as the “UC Candidate Team” reported a historic 100 percent turnout of University College faculty for the election – 86 of out of 86, with three faculty members on leave. Many attributed that turnout to a proposed reorganization of the university that focuses on the Metro campus, particularly University College.
University College has roughly one and a half times as many faculty as Becton College, which often votes as a bloc.
