<p class="MsoNormal">I’m attaching the Graduate Faculty policy at UNO. It does have criteria to be part of the graduate faculty related to degree held by the faculty member. As a point of clarification, while graduate faculty teach graduate level courses,
not all faculty who teach graduate courses are classified as graduate faculty. We have some adjuncts who we certify to teach graduate courses but they do not hold graduate faculty status because of the other responsibilities those graduate faculty hold.
For example, we might determine someone lacks a terminal degree but they have sufficient work and professional experience to teach a graduate course in something like health care management but they are adjunct faculty and we aren’t going to make them graduate
faculty since that would make them eligible to serve on dissertation committees.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hope that helps and didn’t muddy the waters. As the person who is working to address the qualifications of 55 faculty who SACSCOC off site review questioned, I would HIGHLY suggest you have a very clear policy and FOLLOW it. They are
pretty tough on people teaching grad classes without terminal degrees unless you have a ton of documented justification.<o:p></o:p></p>
