Proposed Structures of UGC and Graduate Council
Suggestions for the composition of Graduate Council:
Representation:
- One representative from each degree-granting graduate program;
- One representative from Pickler Memorial Library professional staff;
- Graduate Dean (ex officio);
- Two graduate students, non-voting, from Student Senate;
- Invited guests: One non-voting from each inactive graduate program (at this time these include counseling, math and history)
Suggestions for the composition of Undergraduate Council:
Representation is proportional, based on numbers of faculty in each department as certified by the Provost’s office in the previous fall and approved by department chairs, the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, the Dean of Business and the Dean of the School of Health Sciences and Education. For example, representation elected in Spring 2009 would reflect numbers certified in Fall 2008.
Voting members:
- One representative from each academic department with less than 25 faculty members;
- One representative from the faculty-status librarians at Pickler Memorial Library;
- Two representatives from each department with 25 or more faculty, including the School of Business;
- Non-voting: Provost, two representatives from Student Senate;
- Invited Guests: Registrar, Dean of Students, Director of Interdisciplinary Studies.
