Voting members shall be:

    • School of Public Health
    • 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.
