The committee chair is a faculty member appointed by the Dean. The Associate Dean for Academic Affairs serves as a permanent member. The Chair will select an appropriate number of members to accomplish the committee’s business. Members are selected to ensure cross-sectional representation of disciplines and programs and assume primary responsibility for overseeing the AoL processes in the undergraduate business programs, both B.S. and B.S.B.A. The four graduate program directors provide AoL oversight for their respective programs.
