About the Graduate Faculty Cabinet

Cabinet Charge

The Graduate Faculty Cabinet represents the university’s Graduate Faculty; serves in an advisory capacity to the Graduate College dean; approves graduate courses, curricula, and programs; and acts on academic policies that affect graduate and professional programs throughout the university. Curricular issues and policy changes approved by the Cabinet will be forwarded to the appropriate Faculty Senate committee or council as part of the normal academic shared governance approval process. The Graduate Faculty Cabinet reviews requests related to Graduate Faculty membership and makes recommendations to the Graduate College dean regarding those requests.
