With the open discussion regarding whether to bring a Reserve Officer Training Corps program to Plattsburgh State University College, the next step is the faculty senate vote.
Following that, President Ettling will make the final decision.
The faculty senate representatives will convene on Nov. 7 to express each departments stance and come to a decision.
The current process for voting is that faculty senate representatives vote for their department.
They are obligated to vote in regards to what their respective department wants, according to Douglass Skopp, presiding officer of the Faculty Senate.
If faculty members feel that their voice is not being heard, they are able to petition the senate and have a faculty-wide vote, or take other measures Slopp said.
James Armstrong, the faculty senate represenative from the anthroplogy department, has made sure to discuss the issue with faculty members because of the importance of the issue.
Ettling will look at all viewpoints from students and faculty, but in the end the fate of ROTC on campus is in his hands.
