[La-cgs] Graduate Coordinator Compensation

[Menon, Sanjay]

Mary,

AT LSUS, we have graduate program directors and, separately, graduate coordinators, the latter being admin staff positions that support a specific program. Program directors are faculty, and they receive a combination of course downloads and stipends depending on the number of students in the program.

Thanks, Angela. I'm compiling the response and will absolutely share that info and, of course, what we end up doing here.

Good Morning,
We currently do not offer compensation to Graduate Coordinators, other than adding those responsibilities to their job description and allowing for release from other duties.  We are considering ways to formally compensate and acknowledge their administrative responsibilities to the School of Graduate Studies.  This is a goal, and we are not there yet.  I'd be very interested in hearing any updates that you may make at ULL - as well as knowing what everyone else does.

We are currently trying to get any service to the Graduate School to be more formally acknowledged in their primary appointment - particularly in the School of Medicine.  Since the SoM has a diverse faculty, many of them are not members of the Graduate Faculty, but rather serve the clinical enterprise. Faculty efforts in the Graduate School are not equally appreciated across various Departments.

Thanks for asking this question and all that have responded.

Best - Angela

*EXTERNAL EMAIL: EVALUATE*
Good morning, all.

We are reviewing how our graduate coordinators or, as they may be referred to on your campuses, directors of graduate study, are compensated. Would you be willing to share what you do and, ideally, if you have a policy or guidelines that establish a base? The size and complexity of our programs are so varied that we're hoping to get a better sense of best practice.

Thanks in advance for any guidance you can offer!

Mary
