All the members agreed and the next meeting was scheduled for November 10 th . Dean Rosenkranz thanked everyone for accepting to be on the Committee.
Meetings are to be open and minutes are to be kept.
He encouraged everyone to come to the Council meetings held on the third Wednesday of the month. He doesn t have a plan on how the Committee should proceed but would like us to be imaginative, innovative, and perhaps visit other Graduate Schools, institutions or attend meetings of the Public Health Association next month to learn what other institutions are doing to succeed and bring that plan or mechanisms to our School. He informed the Committee that Dr. Duncan was asked to be a voting member on the Faculty Appointment and Promotion Committee. The Provost has indicated that if GSPH faculty can come up with guidelines for individuals with terminal degrees - that these individuals can be appointed up to full professor rank although it may be a modified professorship, e.g., the School of Medicine has clinical professors or professor of public health practice. He informed the committee that there is a search for professor who will also be Director of the Center Minority Health.
