Elections will be held annually from June - July, with a nomination process open the preceding months. Elections will be held using a secure online voting process. Each member of the university staff (including A&P but excluding faculty) will have one vote for a representative from their primary area of employment (one of the four designated EAC areas).
Members are derived from four widely-grouped areas within UTMB. For the purposes of representation on the council, the university is grouped in four large segments: Academic Enterprise, Correctional Managed Care, Hospitals and Clinics, and Institutional Support.
In 2008, the EAC was composed of 8 members and two non-voting support staff/advisors. Since January 2009, the group expanded to its full contingent of 12 elected members plus the two advisors; four members will rotate off each year, after a three-year term of service for each.
