Proposed Bylaw Change on Graduate Faculty Appointment

Assoc. Dean of Graduate Programs Judith Sugar, in cooperation with the Forum for the Future strategic planning committee, has developed the proposed change to the bylaws of the graduate faculty that appears below. Please contact John Louie (x4219) if you cannot read the images below and need a paper copy.

Essentially it puts complete responsibility for appointments to the Graduate Faculty at the academic department or program level. Please send your comments on this proposal to Sugar or to Louie before the end of February. If approved by the Graduate Council, the proposal would also require endorsement by 2/3 of the present Graduate Faculty.
