<span style="color: black;">The Grievance Committee is a standing committee responsible for addressing formal grievances from graduate students. Membership consists of eight graduate students representing different academic units appointed by the Graduate and
Professional Student Council (GPSC), four faculty members from the Graduate Council and twelve faculty members at large, appointed by the Graduate Dean. Normally faculty members serve three-year terms, staggered from each other. Since this committee is getting
re-started, some members will have shorter terms than others to facilitate the staggering. As noted above, the only time this committee has work assigned is when there is a formal grievance which has been uncommon. </span></p>
