Apply to serve on a Faculty Committee for 2011-2012!

The SBA is seeking applicants for our faculty committees for the upcoming school year. These committees meet with faculty members to better plan events for and serve our community in areas such as admissions, faculty tenure, and career services. We are looking to fill spots on the following committees:

The Admissions and Financial Aid Committee deals with issues regarding admissions and financial aid at the Law School.

The Curriculum Committee determines the student body’s desires for the curriculum. This committee then brings those desires to the administration’s attention and, along with the administration, discovers ways to effectuate those desires.

The Faculty Appointments Committee is chiefly involved with hiring new faculty at the Law School.

The Student Career Opportunities Committee works with the Career Services staff to ascertain how that office might better serve students’ career needs.

The Student Disabilities Committee brings the needs of disabled students to the administration’s attention and endeavors to improve the Law School’s environment for students with disabilities.

The Tenure Committee decides whether to grant tenure by reviewing a professor’s scholarship, teaching, and service to the Law School. Student representatives focus mainly on evaluating a professor’s teaching and service.

The Academic Enhancement Committee works with Asst. Dean Moji Olaniyan to identify and target needed areas of academic enhancement within the curriculum. The Committee will then work with Asst. Dean Olaniyan to implement the Committee’s recommendations.

To apply, please submit the attached application, as well as a resume, to uwsbaweb@gmail.com, or by turning both items into Christy Coombs’ hangfile. Applications are due Sunday, August 28. If you are selected as a 2L, you will have the option of continuing on the committee for your 3L year.
