Committee Composition

This committee consists of six full-time faculty members elected by the Faculty Assembly with two committee members elected each year, three pre-doctoral students, one each from the second, third, and fourth year classes, and the Basic Science coordinator. The Associate Dean for Education will serve as the non-voting permanent chairperson. The Director of Student and Multicultural Affairs will serve as a permanent, non-voting, ex-officio member of the Committee. Members of this committee will also serve as the College's representatives to the HSC Conduct Committee and will be advised of conduct violations of students undergoing academic review by this committee. The committee reports directly to the Dean who handles all appeals originating from the actions of the committee.

Standing Committee Charge

As stated in the Constitution and Bylaws, it is the responsibility of this committee to make independent decisions regarding individual students' academic status based upon documentation provided to the committee (academic counseling reports, referrals from course directors, and submission of course final grades). Students identified as having poor academic performance or delay in their academic progress are invited to a hearing with the committee, following due process procedures as outlined in the Student Handbook, when placement on academic probation, re-tracking or dismissal is a consideration. The committee also has the responsibility for approval of the dean's list and removing students from academic probation.

Additional Charge from the Dean for 2011–2012

This year, I would like the committee to give consideration to how it participates in determining honors and high honors for diplomas and to make a recommendation to me as to any needed changes to this process.

Individual Faculty Member Responsibilities

The Student Performance Evaluation Committee (SPEC) meets 2–3 times per semester for 1–2 hours.

Time commitment: Approximately 2–6 hours per semester for committee meetings.
