The future leadership of the University of Houston’s Faculty Senate was decided and a new president-elect will be in place starting in January.

Steven Craig, professor of economics, was elected to that position during the senate’s Dec. 8 meeting. He will serve as president-elect throughout 2005 and will become president in January 2006.

Allen Warner, professor of education is the senate’s current president-elect and will be inaugurated as president on Jan. 26.

"I ran for the office because I am optimistic about UH’s future,” Craig said. “I look forward to working with the senate to help UH President Jay Gogue and the provost provide students with a superior education, especially through rebuilding the size and quality of our faculty."

Craig currently serves on the senate’s Budget and Facilities Committee and the Task Force on Compensation and Retention.

Sara McNeil, professor of curriculum and instruction, was re-elected as the senate’s secretary. She and the other elected officers (see sidebar) will begin their terms in January.
