COPR consists of faculty representatives from the major academic units, representatives from the Graduate Council, and student representatives. It is constituted as shown in the table below. Members are appointed for three-year staggered terms. COPR members are selected to include faculty whose primary focus is in undergraduate instruction as well as faculty with graduate teaching experience. Program reviews are carried out over a three-year period and generally follow the timetable shown below.
Academic deans notify units to be reviewed.
Ad hoc review teams are formed for each unit. A COPR member acts as convener. Each ad hoc review team carries out its program review of the unit and drafts its report. The summary report is prepared for the Board of Regents. The Council discusses the team's findings.
