Graduate Council
The Graduate Council was formed to enable a cadre of faculty with significant experience
and achievement in graduate education to assist in the review and implementation of
campus graduate studies issues. Working with the Dean of the Graduate School, the
Graduate Council serves to assess and implement initiatives that foster successful
graduate education involving faculty and students.
In addition to serving as an advisory body, the members of the Graduate Council make
recommendations on policies for the Graduate School and serve as the final arbiter
for student-related appeals.
Members of the Graduate Council are appointed for three-year terms by the Provost
and Vice President for Academic Affairs in consultation with the Dean of the Graduate
School and the deans of the academic colleges. The appointment of college representatives
is done on a staggered basis to maintain continuity of experience.
The Graduate Council meets at a minimum once per month to hear student appeals and
approve membership for candidacy for Graduate Faculty positions.
