The reserve member from the Panel of Chairs may be used to replace either the Chair or a faculty member. At the discretion of the Chair, new members may attend a hearing as observers. For the purposes of selection and service on the University Appeal Board, graduate students are considered to be from the Faculty where they receive supervision. Students in any joint degree program will not be called upon to hear appeals which arise from any of the Faculties involved in the joint program. Except for members of the Panel of Chairs, the terms of office for all faculty members shall be up to three years as General Faculties Council shall determine.
Faculty members are eligible for re-election.
The Appeals Coordinator will select, in rotation, for each appeal hearing, a member of the Panel to chair a particular hearing. If the Appeals Coordinator knows, in advance of a hearing, that one or both parties will be represented by legal counsel, the Coordinator may select a Panel member with a law degree to Chair the hearing. The Executive Committee will have the discretion to appoint a Chair for a particular hearing from outside the Panel members. Where the appeal involves a graduate student, the Appeals Coordinator shall, by rotation, replace one undergraduate student with one alternate graduate student. For this purpose, graduate students are considered to be from the Faculty where they receive supervision.
