The Graduate Faculty Review Committee met Monday and discussed the need to have current graduate faculty input/approval for applicants before council review. Currently, the G4 Grad Faculty application requires the Department Chair and College Dean to sign in approval with a statement that, in the case of applicants for Full and renewed Initial membership, “graduate faculty of the candidate’s department have provided input concerning this action.” Review Committee members feel this is not being done and wish for this council to address the issue.
