SECTION 4 - PROGRAM GOVERNANCE AND PROCEDURES
Faculty Membership Nomination to the doctoral faculty shall be made by the Executive Committee upon recommendation of the Faculty Membership Committee. Criteria for such appointment shall include such items as:
1. Current pursuit of significant research relevant to the doctoral program;
A. Appointment to the doctoral faculty is not automatic, nor can it be automatically "earned" through any prior service. A member may be removed from the doctoral faculty upon recommendation of the Executive Committee, which will have consulted with the Faculty Membership Committee, and after the member has been given one year's notice of intention of removal.
A faculty member who has been notified of intended removal may address an appeal to the Faculty Membership Committee.
B. Individuals must be members of the doctoral faculty in order to teach a doctoral-level course on more than two occasions or supervise dissertations.
C. To meet emergency needs, individuals may be appointed temporarily to the doctoral faculty for a period of one semester or one year. Such temporary appointments cannot be repeated for a cumulative total of more than one academic year (two semesters). To meet an emergency the Executive Officer may make such a temporary appointment. Notification of such action should be conveyed to the Faculty Membership Committee and/or Executive Committee, which should make a nomination for temporary appointment to the Provost as soon as practical. Individuals on temporary appointment do not have voting rights in the Program, nor may they be appointed to Program committees. This procedure is designed for unusual cases, as described, and cannot be used as a substitute for the normal procedures specified in the GSUC's Governance document.
2. Qualification to teach a doctoral course or provide other doctoral-level training;
3. Qualification to supervise doctoral dissertations or other graduate-level research.
