About the Committee
According to our program's bylaws, the Advisory Committee consists of five members: three faculty members elected by the Program faculty, one faculty member appointed by the Director, and one graduate student member elected from among and by graduate students in the Program working toward earning the Concentration in Medieval Studies. In appointing faculty members to the Advisory Committee, the Director will strive, to the extent possible and practical, to ensure that the Committee is broadly representative of the Program faculty as a whole in terms of College and Departmental membership, field, and rank. Faculty terms will be for two years and staggered; the graduate student term will be for one year. No member may serve more than two terms consecutively. When an elected member cannot serve for one or more semesters during a term, the Director will conduct a special election for an alternate to serve during the vacancy; when an appointed faculty member cannot serve for one or more semesters during a term, the Director will appoint an alternate to serve during the vacancy.
The Advisory Committee will advise and assist the Director in all matters of planning, policy, and administration of the Program. The Advisory Committee will meet with the Director at least once each term, and the Director may call additional meetings. The Director will communicate to the participating faculty in writing and in a timely fashion decisions involving substantive matters of Program planning, policy, and administration (excepting personnel matters at the Director’s discretion) made in meetings of the Advisory Committee. The graduate student member will be excused when the Committee discusses personnel matters involving Program faculty.
