School Governance

The Faculty Plan of Organization (FPO) is the document that sets forth the faculty structure and operation. This document calls for student representation on all standing committees of the School except the Faculty Executive Committee (FEC) and the Appointment, Promotion and Tenure Committee (APT). Moreover, student representatives are offered appointment to the various curriculum area committees. Student representation is at a ratio of one student to four faculty. The Student Government Association (SGA), in conjunction with the endorsement of the Assistant Dean for Student Affairs, accepts nominations and volunteers for appointment to the various faculty curriculum committees. It is the Student Government Association's responsibility to communicate appointments to the chairs of the committees to which students are appointed. Students who are appointed to committees have full voting privileges on their respective committees.

Student committee members can be excused from their field placement for participation in committee meetings. This should be done with the expressed consent of the field instructor and notification of the Assistant Dean for Field Education.

Students may attend any committee or faculty meeting except when the committee is meeting in executive session. The Faculty Executive Committee Chair should be approached if students wish to attend the FEC's meetings or present items for that committee's consideration. Students should also contact the Chair if they want to attend and/or speak at the meeting of the faculty. These meetings are held monthly. The faculty approved committees are comprised of the following:

*Admissions Committee: Dr. Shoshanna Ringel, Chair

Appointments, Promotion, and Tenure Committee: TBA, Chair

Baccalaureate Program Committee: Dr. Carolyn Tice

*Clinical Concentration Committee: Dr. Kathleen Deal and Dr. Shoshana Ringel, Co-chairs
