2.5.6 Graduate Faculty Appointments

Appointment to the faculty of the Graduate School is required for participation in Graduate School activities. Such appointments are supplementary to faculty appointments in an established school. No faculty appointments in the Graduate School are primary faculty appointments. If appointment to the graduate faculty is anticipated for a faculty member, the letter of nomination should originate in a graduate program. The Graduate School should be consulted in advance, and approval of the planned appointment should be obtained. Continuation of appointment to the graduate faculty shall be based on a periodic evaluation of the appointees' participation in graduate training activities. Responsibility for evaluation rests with graduate program directors and chairs of departments with graduate programs.
