COMMITTEE ON GRADUATE STUDIES, ESTABLISHMENT OF COMMITTEE ON GRADUATE STUDIES |
The Committee on Graduate Studies shall be established as a Standing Committee of the Faculty Senate.
CHARGE
A. The Committee on Graduate Studies
shall be the consultative deliberative body of the faculty on matters relating
to graduate education, graduate curriculum, planning and research including
post-baccalaureate course offerings, degree programs, extension, admission and
matriculation requirements, assistantships, fellowships, graduate student
awards, grading, library services, and other matters related to
post-baccalaureate and graduate instructional development and delivery.
B. The Committee on Graduate Studies
shall, in consultation and collaboration with the Faculty Senate’s standing
committees (Curriculum Policies, Faculty Policies, Academic Policies, and
General Education/Graduation Requirements), develop, periodically review,
revise as appropriate and recommend such university-wide graduate policies,
standards, and procedures as are conducive to the maintenance of quality in
advanced degree programs throughout the University. Pursuant to this, it shall coordinate
policies, standards, and procedures of the departments and schools and the
University as a whole, insofar as they relate to degrees and/or programs beyond
the bachelor’s degree.
C. The Committee on Graduate Studies
shall also serve as a consultative body to the Dean of Graduate Education for
policy-related matters in consultation and collaboration with the Faculty
Senate’s Standing Committees.
OPERATIONS
A.
The Committee on Graduate Studies shall be a committee
of the Faculty Senate, reporting to the Executive Committee.
B.
Although the Faculty Senate’s Curriculum Policies,
Faculty Policies, Academic Policies, and General Education/Graduation
Requirements Committees have the major policy-recommending functions for the
University in their respective areas, the Committee on Graduate Studies may, in
collaboration with those Committees, review existing policies and initiate
co-sponsored policy recommendations related to graduate studies and graduate
programs. The Committee on Graduate Studies
will work in close coordination with other Faculty Senate standing committees
in the disposition of its duties.
C.
Issues considered by the Committee on Graduate Studies
may be referred by the Executive Committee to any of the other standing
committees of the Faculty Senate as well.
Any standing committee may similarly refer issues to the Committee on
Graduate Studies through the Executive Committee.
D. The Committee on Graduate Studies shall elect a Chair at the end of each academic year to serve during the coming academic year.
1) The Chair is responsible for establishing the agenda for each meeting, and for producing an end-of-year report.
2) A quorum of the Committee shall require the presence of at least five voting members.
MEMBERSHIP
The Committee on Graduate Studies shall be composed of 9 voting members: one faculty representative from each of the seven Colleges and the Library, and one faculty representative of the Dean’s Graduate Advisory Council elected by that Council. Elected members shall serve three year staggered terms. One representative from each of the Faculty Senate’s standing policy committees shall serve in a liaison role as ex-officio, non-voting members. The Dean of Graduate Education and a representative from the College of Continuing Education shall also serve as ex-officio, non-voting members, as shall one post-baccalaureate student selected according to procedures determined by Associated Students Incorporated.
