Common use of Program Committee Clause in Contracts

Program Committee. A Program Committee will administer the combined program, and will approve all student admissions. The Committee will also deal with routine modifications of the course offerings and schedule and other routine matters arising including issues not resolved in this agreement. The Program Committee will review the program annually. Membership of the Committee is as follows: Chair of the Department of Political Science at UW, Graduate Program Coordinator at UW, a faculty representative from UW, Chair of the Social Sciences Department at UM-D, Director of MPP Program at UM-D, and a faculty representative from UM-D. The Program Committee chair will be selected from the membership and will alternate annually between a member from UW and from UM-D. For votes on routine issues, the Program Committee Chair will break a tie vote. Resolution of substantive issues requires consent from both programs. Although students will be admitted to the MA/MPP articulation by a joint Program Committee, they will formally be admitted separately to the MA and the MPP program. Students deciding, for whatever reason, to withdraw from the articulation will be able to complete either the MA or the MPP, at their choosing.
