Graduate Faculty review – the review committee was unable to meet as scheduled and is currently hoping to meet in the first or second week of December. Once their results are received, Dr. Harn will conduct voting with the Graduate Council via email, with the goal of obtaining approval and posting the results to the web before start of the Spring 2020 term.
Dr. Lin asked a question regarding graduate faculty members that leave their position with the University but are later asked to be on a grad student’s committee and how this affects their graduate faculty status. Dr. Harn explained that if their status has not yet expired, then it would still be considered active. Otherwise, a G4 requesting Special membership would need to be submitted prior to the committee appointment
