GFGC Transition
History
During 2018-19, the Faculty Senate voted to support the establishment of an independent graduate faculty governance organization to be consistent with the other colleges in the university, better serve the growing needs of the Graduate School and WWU graduate students, and facilitate the ability of graduate faculty to help shape the mission and goals of the college.
Following a 30-day comment period, the current Graduate Council voted to send the following amended document to all members of the Graduate Faculty for the purpose of ratification. The Constitution and by-laws were approved by a majority vote on February 4, 2020.
