Report of the Pedagogical Training Subcommittee of the Provost's Committee on Graduate Student Teaching

This report encapsulates the recommendations of the Pedagogical Training Subcommittee, which believes strongly that training all graduate students in the skills necessary to be effective teachers should be an integral part of graduate education, and it should be a priority for maintaining the University’s high academic standards for undergraduates. 

Student Disciplinary Procedures Recommendations

This committee, consisting of faculty, students, and staff, was appointed to consider four specific student disciplinary questions: How ought the University to handle discipline of groups? While ensuring compliance with Federal law, to what extent and under what circumstances may the individual alleging a violation occurred be involved in and apprised of the disciplinary process and its outcome? Should sexual assault cases be heard by a central disciplinary committee? If yes, should domestic violence complaints be heard by that centralized structure, too?

Report of the Provost's Working Group on Arts and Disciplines

Building upon the momentum gained with the announcement of the Logan Center, the Provost’s Working Group on Arts & Disciplines turned the University community’s attention to the interdisciplinary potential of the arts. Then-Provost Thomas F. Rosenbaum charged the committee to investigate the relationship between arts practitioners and other scholars in the arts, as well as the relationship between the arts and other disciplines across the University, and to recommend ways to better integrate these areas.
