Committee on Faculty, Research & Instruction

Dr. Linda Openshaw presented the committee report on Faculty Advisors
for Doctoral Dissertations.  The motion to approve the report was made
by Dr. Openshaw and seconded by Dr. Travis.  The Council voted
unanimously to approve the following:

 

When a faculty member who is in the process of advising a doctoral
dissertation leaves the university, the department head decides who
should advise the student in the future.  The department head consults
the student, the departing advisor, and the potential new advisor to
ensure that it will be a positive change.
