Who can serve as the chair of an ESS graduate supervisory committee?
Master’s and doctoral committees can be chaired by any regular ESS faculty member (those who are tenured or on tenure track). Auxilliary faculty members (lecturers, clinical & research faculty) can also chair ESS graduate committees if the specific expertise required for the direction of a thesis or dissertation cannot be provided by regular member of the ESS faculty, and if that individual is on a long-term appointment in the Department. Auxilliary faculty members can serve as sole chair a graduate committee by approval of the Dean of the Graduate School or by serving as co-chair of a committee with a regular faculty member.
