Membership

 

The committee membership is elected by academic department with a representative from both undergraduate and graduate programs where appropriate. Nominations and elections for representative seats that will be vacant in the fall shall take place in the prior spring but no later than the last department faculty meeting of the academic year. All full-time faculty with primary appointments in the College of Education and Health Professions are eligible to serve, however, faculty who hold full-time administrative appointments (e.g., department head/chair, associate/assistant dean, dean, provost/vice provost, chancellor/vice chancellor) are not eligible. Potential candidates shall be permitted to nominate themselves and also to decline nominations. Department heads manage nominations and elections for department representatives. The sitting chair of CCPC manages nominations and elections for the graduate student representative. All graduate students earning a College of Education and Health Professions degree, and who anticipate graduating no sooner than two years after the term begins, are eligible. Department and student representative roles serve two-year terms.

At the first fall meeting each year, the committee members shall elect the chair-elect from within the committee who will serve one year as chair-elect while in the department representative role. Thereafter they vacate the department representative role to serve one year as chair. If the year serving as chair leaves their department representative role prematurely vacant, the department shall elect a one-year replacement during the spring elections. Student representatives are not eligible to serve as chair-elect.

All members of the council shall be voting members. The associate dean of academic affairs and representative(s) from the Boyer Center for Student Services shall serve as ex-officio, non-voting members of the council.
