Appointment Review Committees

Appointment Review Committees are assembled by faculty seeking a tenured position. Students appointed to these committees become part of the review process the tenure-tracked teachers must go through before attaining tenured status. As part of that process, the ASG is tasked with approving student volunteers to fill said positions, this week the ASG unanimously accepted the appointment of fourteen student volunteers.
