Approved, Spring 1991; Revised, November 2000

The selection process is as follows:

1. At the beginning of the spring semester of the third year of the current graduate coordinator's term, the chair of the department will notify all full time tenured faculty of their eligibility for the position of graduate coordinator.

2. Members who wish to serve a three-year term as graduate coordinator must provide the chair of the department with two documents: a letter of intent to seek the position and a curriculum vitae.

3. The chair of the department will photocopy the documents described above and make these documents available to the faculty eligible to vote on personnel issues. These documents must be made available at least two weeks in advance of the department meeting called to select the graduate coordinator.

4. At the designated meeting called to deliberate and select the graduate coordinator, faculty members will vote by secret ballot. To secure the position, a faculty member will need to receive a simple majority of the votes cast by those present; no proxy votes will be accepted.
