Committee Reports
Rules and Regulations - Thad Metz

Dr. Metz distributed a memo to the committee from the Graduate School noting an omission from section 9.1 in the rules and regulations. The sentence "Included in this number is the committee chair who must be a member of the doctoral faculty" was incorrectly omitted by last year's rules and regulations committee and should have remained in the regulations. The committee recommends approval of the revised wording for section 9.1 as follows:

"The Dissertation Committee will consist of no fewer than four members of the UM-St. Louis graduate faculty appointed by the Graduate Dean upon the recommendation of the unit, except that units may replace, with the Graduate Dean's permission, one of the members of the graduate faculty by a recognized scholar or professional. Included in this number is the committee chair who must be a member of the doctoral faculty. One member of the committee must be a member of the UM-St. Louis graduate faculty from outside the unit. This individual cannot be considered the outside member if he or she holds a joint appointment in the unit. The committee is proposed by the unit using the Appointment of Dissertation Committee form. Changes in its composition must be approved by the Graduate Dean using the same form."

Council accepted the committee's report.
