Faculty Meeting student representative

This is a reference page for Graduate student information.

THIS PAGE IS NOT OFFICIAL DEPARTMENTAL POLICY. IT MERELY REPRESENTS THE PEER-ADVICE PROVIDED BY FELLOW STUDENTS AND FACULTY.

What the handbook says

At most faculty meetings, and for most of the business of each meeting, a senior graduate student is invited to attend to present student views as appropriate, and to deliberate with the faculty on issues relevant to the Department’s operation. In order to assure an open exchange of views at the meetings, the details of meeting discussions are confidential, although the substance of issues discussed and decisions taken should be communicated by the representative to the graduate student population. Thus, discretion is a key attribute required in this position. Normally, the graduate student representative will be at least a third-year student, and should be chosen by the students in consultation with the Department Chair in September of each year. Terms are for one year and are renewable. Preferably the grad student faculty meeting representative is not the same person as the head TA.
