The Committee shall consist of 3 faculty members, an undergraduate student and an MBA student.

The Committee is encouraged to consult relevant experts within and outside the School of Business, as necessary.
Terms are renewable.
Membership shall be reported to the University Research Ethics Board by the Dean of the School of Business.
