- University College
- The president of the Graduate Student Association (GSA),
- Eleven (11) Graduate Faculty representing the various graduate colleges
- One (1) representative
In recognition of the various college and school discipline areas and the population
of graduate faculty, the following formula allotment has been determined:
- Arts & Sciences = 3
- Business & Economics = 2
- Communication & Fine Arts = 2
- Education = 2
- Engineering = 2
The duties and responsibilities of the university council are to consider proposals
to change graduate admissions; graduate curriculum, including courses, majors, minors,
degrees, and programs; graduate policies and procedures; and research policies and
procedures. Proposals approved by the university council and the assistant vice provost
for graduate studies are forwarded, when necessary, to the provost for appropriate
University and State review. The university council hears and acts upon appeals from
students denied admission to a graduate program and on other academic appeals from
graduate students (except grade appeals), which have not been resolved at a lower
level. The university council also establishes criteria for membership on the graduate
faculty.
